We here reflect on two important articles on stratospheric ozone depletion written by P. J. Crutzen (1974) and P. J. Crutzen and D. H. Ehhalt (1977) in the early 1970s. These articles provide a clear description of the stratosphere and the most important chemical reactions involved in stratospheric ozone depletion. They present modeling results and provide recommendations for future research on stratospheric ozone depletion caused by chloro-fluoro-carbons, supersonic transport, nitrous oxide, and nuclear explosions. These two articles represent the beginning of a scientific era, which led to discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole and political action in the form of the Montreal Protocol and its amendments.
我们在这里反思了 P. J. Crutzen(1974 年)和 P. J. Crutzen 和 D. H. Ehhalt(1977 年)在 20 世纪 70 年代初撰写的两篇关于平流层臭氧消耗的重要文章。这些文章清楚地描述了平流层以及平流层臭氧消耗中最重要的化学反应。它们展示了建模结果,并就氯氟烃、超音速运输、一氧化二氮和核爆炸导致的平流层臭氧消耗提出了未来研究的建议。这两篇文章代表了一个科学时代的开始,这导致了对南极臭氧洞的发现以及以《蒙特利尔议定书》及其修正案形式的政治行动。
