Climate Diagnostics Center (CDC)
http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/
A collaborative project of CIRES (Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences) and NOAA (the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration), the Climate Diagnostics Center (CDC) strives "to identify the nature and causes of climate variations, on time scales ranging from a month to centuries" so as to predict future climate. The homepage offers a host of online information, from a broad overview of climate diagnostics, to research summaries on interseasonal/ interannual climate variability or Hydrologic Cycle Studies, to a What's New? section giving the latest research results and current job opportunities. For researchers and students alike this Webpage will be a useful information hub. [LXP]
[Back to Contents]The Scientific Web
http://www.scientificweb.com/sciencee.html
Scientific Web, a metasite posted by German computer scientist Stefan Steinhaus, is an excellent resource for people interested in learning about software available for a variety of scientific disciplines. Biology, chemistry, math, and statistics are among the disciplines for which software descriptions and links are available. The site is in table format: under each discipline heading is a hyperlinked list of software packages. Click on the software package name, and you are taken to a page displaying the product maker, system requirements, data and graphics format, and a one- or two-paragraph description of the software's capabilities. Scientific Web also provides links to pages with software demo versions, product announcements, lists and usergroups, test reports, and more. Scientific Web is available in its original German language format or in English (the imperfect English does not detract from the site's utility). [HCS]

Next week, the twelfth Meeting Of The Parties To "The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer" will take place in Burkina Faso to negotiate multi-governmental cooperation in the protection of the earth's ozone layer. Given the recent collapse of the United Nations climate talks in the Hague, at which the US refused to agree to reduce global warming through stricter pollution controls (arguing instead for getting credit for carbon "sinks"), the importance of the upcoming meeting cannot be underestimated. The ozone layer exists in the stratosphere, a thin band of atmosphere 10-50km above the earth's surface. This thin band absorbs (and thereby protects the earth's surface from) harmful ultra-violet wavelengths (UV-B) that are produced in sunlight. The widespread use of human-produced chemicals that are ozone-depleting (such as chlorofluorocarbons -- used in air conditioning, or halocarbons -- used in fire extinguishers) has led to a reduction in stratospheric ozone, resulting in the massive ozone hole above Antarctica and South America. Although many of the most damaging ozone-depleting substances are being phased out of production, the time-lag from the release of these long-lasting chemicals to their damaging effect in the atmosphere means that the expected stratospheric peak of these chemicals will not occur until the end of this decade. In addition, this damaging process is exacerbated by global climate change, and requires political will to enforce cleaner air. Meanwhile, scientists have documented the first signs of a growing ozone hole over the Arctic -- with staggering implications for human, animal, and plant health. This week's In The News highlights the upcoming pivotal meeting in West Africa and introduces readers to some excellent resources on the ozone layer.
The first resource, from Environmental News Network, describes the upcoming international ozone meeting, its importance, and its scientific/political context (1). The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) hosts the second ozone resource (2), offering introductory information on the ozone layer and the policies that regulate its protection. For information on The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, see this site from the Secretariat of the Montreal Protocol (3). For background on the science of ozone depletion, chapter five of the National Safety Council's 2000 report on understanding climate change (4) offers a good review, as do the Environmental Protection Agency's hyperlinked general information site (5) and EPA's Environmental Indicators page (6). Atmospheric researchers should check out NOAA's Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC) Website, describing "a set of high-quality remote-sounding research stations for observing and understanding the physical and chemical state of the stratosphere" (7). Also of particular interest to researchers is the Climate Prediction Center's data gateway to current ozone hole conditions (8); the Aerosol Research Branch: NASA Langley Research Center, see the Lidar Research section (9); and TOMS (10). Finally, for recent evidence of stratospheric ozone depletion above the Arctic, see this new release from Europa, the European Union's official news server (11) and the associated data Website THESEO 2000 (12), representing the collaborative research initiative by European, US, and other atmospheric scientists.
