El. Aleksandrov, ON THE POSSIBILITY OF ACTIVE RESTORATION OF THE EARTHS OZONE-LAYER, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 33(4), 1997, pp. 468-471
Estimates of the energy needed for artificial restoration of the ozone
layer are made, and various methods proposed for artificial restorati
on of ozone are analyzed. A low efficiency of the method of stratosphe
ric ozone restoration by a transfer of atmospheric molecular oxygen to
the excited state by laser radiation with lambda = 1.27 mu m is demon
strated.
