Assimilation of trace atmospheric constituents for climate (ATACC): Linking chemical weather and climate

大气臭氧和二氧化碳的变化影响着地表气候的许多方面，从紫外线辐射（臭氧）的变化到长期温度变化（二氧化碳）。更好地绘制这些气体的地图将有助于我们理解、预测和管理这些变化。就臭氧而言，它将阐明臭氧与地面天气之间的联系。对于二氧化碳，提高对热带森林砍伐、土地清理和南大洋变化对大气二氧化碳影响的认识将支持澳大利亚和本地区的可持续发展。因此，该项目在国家研究重点“一个环境可持续发展的澳大利亚”下解决了“应对气候变化和变异”的优先目标。

Changes in atmospheric ozone and carbon dioxide affect many aspects of surface climate from changes in ultraviolet radiation (ozone) to long-term changes in temperature (carbon dioxide). Better mapping of these gases will help us understand, predict and manage these changes. For ozone, it will clarify the link between ozone and surface weather. For carbon dioxide, improved knowledge of the impact of tropical deforestation, land clearing and changes in the southern ocean on atmospheric CO2 will support sustainable development in Australia and our region. The project hence addresses the priority goal 'Responding to climate change and variability` under the National Research Priority 'An Environmentally Sustainable Australia`.
