Fig. 3: Changes in important ozone depleting species and ozone compared with Keith et. al.1 estimates.

From: Experimental reaction rates constrain estimates of ozone response to calcium carbonate geoengineering

Fig. 3

a Annually averaged rate of ozone loss caused by NOx and ClOx catalytic cycles as a function of altitude, averaged from 60°S to 60°N. b Changes (percent) in ozone column estimates using the thk-dep parameterization compared with the baseline scenario with no solar geoengineering. Positive values indicate ozone increases. c Differences in ozone column estimates (percent) between the thk-ind scenario and the thk-dep scenario compared to the baseline outcomes. Positive values mean higher ozone estimates using the thk-ind parameterization.
