Fig. 7: Overall effects of rocket emissions on the ozone layer.
Combined effects of rocket emissions as an annual mean for the “ambitious growth” scenario (ALL relative to REF): a Ozone anomaly (as a percent). Black contour lines show the annual-mean ozone distribution in the REF simulation (units of ppm); b Total column ozone anomaly. Thick lines indicate where the anomaly is statistically significant (95% confidence interval). The solid red line shows the “ambitious growth” scenario with all forcings (ALL simulation) and the dashed red line shows the “conservative growth” scenario with all forcings; c–e Anomaly in the rate of the ozone-destroying Clx, NOx and HOx cycles, respectively. f Temperature anomaly. In all panels except b, stippling indicates where the anomaly is not statistically significant (95% confidence interval).
