GLOBAL TRENDS 2.0 INTRODUCTION Measuring trends in ozone, and most other geophysical variables, requires that a small systematic change with time be determined from signals that have large periodic and aperiodic variations. Their time scales range from the day-to-day changes due to atmospheric motions through seasonal and annual varia- tions to Il-year cycles resulting from changes in the sun ultraviolet output. Aperiodic variations include the irregular quasi-biennial oscillation, with a period of roughly 26-28 months, approximately 4-year variations, and other sources of interannual differences. Because the magnitude of all of these variations is not well known and highly variable, it is necessary to measure over more than one period of the variations to remove their effects. This means at least 2 or more times the 11 -year sunspot cycle. Thus, the first requirement is for a long-term data record. The second related requirement is that the record be consistent; a small effect is being sought, and changes in instru- mentation or data analysis method will obscure changes in the atmosphere. A third requirement is for reasonable global sampling, to ensure that the effects are representative of the entire Earth. Therefore, the various observational methods relevant to trend detection are reviewed in Section 2.1 to characterize their quality and time and space coverage. Available data are then examined for long-term trends or recent changes in ozone total content (Section 2.2) and vertical distribution (2.3), as well as in related parameters such as stratospheric temperature (2.4), source gases and tropospheric ozone (2.5), and aerosols (2.6). The relation between trends in total column ozone and variations observed in the solar ultraviolet radiation at the ground are discussed in Section 2.7, and outstanding issues in trends detection are emphasized in Section 2.8. 2.1 OBSERVATIONAL METHODS RELEVANT TO TREND DETECTION 2.1.1 Introduction This section briefly describes the measurement techniques that have been used in the past or are expected to be used in the future to quantitatively measure trends in total ozone or the ozone vertical distribution. More detailed descriptions of these techniques have been presented elsewhere, in the Ozone Trends Panel Report (WMO, 1989, hereafter denoted OTP) and in previous reports (WMO, 1986; NASA, 1988), earlier ozone assessments,

Thèse présentée à l’Université de Genève pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur en relations internationales par Péricles GASPARINI ALVES (Brésil) Thèse No. 612 GENEVE 2000 © Copyright by Péricles GASPARINI ALVES Epigraph The first of December had arrived! the fatal day! for, if the projectile were not discharged that very night at 10h. 46m.40s. p.m., more than eighteen years must roll by before the moon would again present herself under the same conditions of zenith and perigee. The weather was magnificent. ... The whole plain was covered with huts, cottages, and tents. Every nation under the sun was represented there; and every language might be heard spoken at the same time. It was a perfect Babel re-enacted. ... The moment had arrived for saying ‘Goodbye!’ The scene was a touching one. ... ‘Thirty-five!—thirty-six!—thirty-seven!—thirty-eight!—thirty-nine!—forty! Fire!!!’ Instantly Murchison pressed with his finger the key of the electric battery, restored the current of the fluid, and discharged the spark into the breach of the Columbiad. An appalling, unearthly report followed instantly, such as can be compared to nothing whatever known, not even to the roar of thunder, or the blast of volcanic explosion! No words can convey the slightest idea of the terrific sound! An immense spout of fire shot up from the bowels of the earth as from a crater. The earth heaved up, and ...
