The effects of chlorine perturbations on both the temperature and the ozone distribution in the stratosphere have been studied using a simplified radiative-photochemical model. The model solves the hydrostatic equation for total density in a self-consistent manner as the temperature is changed. Radiative coupling is found to have significant effect on both the thermal structure and the ozone distribution particularly in the 35--50 km region. By increasing the C1X mixing ratio by 5.0 ppbv, the temperature in this region is decreased by 5K--10K with a slight increase below 30 km. The local ozone depletion around 40 km due to added C1X is smaller compared to the estimate made by keeping the temperature fixed to the ambient condition. However, the integrated effect of radiative coupling is to increase the calculated column ozone depletion by 15--25% in this model. |
