Agenda
Key Science Questions
      1. How will stratospheric ozone levels change as greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances change?
      2. How will stratospheric dynamics and transport change as greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances change?
      3. When will the ozone hole recover?
      4. Will ozone depletion worsen in the northern hemisphere?
      5. How will changing ozone levels impact climate change?
       
      Key Workshop Questions
       
      1. What are the key underlying processes that will impact stratospheric ozone change?
      2. How predictable is the evolution of stratospheric ozone and its impact on climate?
                   In other words, what is the "signal" relative to the climate "noise"?
      1. How can we assess how well can CCMs represent these key processes?
      2. What are the key parameters that we need to measure?
        • for validating processes that impact ozone change
        • for assessing CCMs
