New doctoral thesis:
Ioana Ivanciu (2022): "Impacts of Increasing Greenhouse Gas Concentrations and of Ozone Changes on the Atmospheric and Oceanic Circulation in the Southern Hemisphere", 210 pp.
Summary: "This thesis separated the effects of stratospheric ozone changes and of increasing concentrations of anthropogenic greenhouse gases on the atmospheric and oceanic dynamics of the Southern Hemisphere. Under the high emission scenario SSP5-8.5, effects of comparable magnitude were found in the stratosphere, while at the surface and in the ocean the greenhouse gas effect dominate. In addition, the thesis investigated the impact of how the ozone field is treated in climate models and found that the effects of changes in stratospheric ozone are weaker when the ozone field is prescribed rather than calculated interactively."
