Abstract
A time-dependent radiative convective climate model is used to estimat e the effect of ozone loss on the radiative balance of the earth-tropo sphere system. Estimates of the thermal relaxation time of the lower s tratosphere are presented. The influence of ozone drop pulses of an id ealized and an actual shape on radiative forcing is estimated. A compa rison of results obtained by means of steady-state and time-dependent models revealed that the steady-state estimates can overestimate the v alues of radiative forcing up to 40% depending on the shape of ozone d rop pulses.
