Scenario of global climate change in the Stratosphere-Mesosphere-Thermosphere-Ionosphere system

Résumé fourni par la source

The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causes net heating in the troposphere and net cooling at higher atmospheric levels, which results in long-term changes of many other quantities in the upper atmosphere and ionosphere. Here, we briefly present a scenario of global climatic changes in the Stratosphere-Mesosphere-Thermosphere-Ionosphere system. Changes in all quantities in this system together create a qualitatively consistent scenario. The main driver of these changes is carbon dioxide, but some role is played also by the stratospheric ozone/ozone depleting substances and by the secular change of the Earth magnetic field. Observation-based trends and trends derived from model simulations agree with each other qualitatively and often also quantitatively.
