Abstract:
Ozone is a minor constituent of atmosphere that can shield UV-B radiation right from the solar radiation. Climate refers to the mean behaviour of the weather over some appropriate averaging time. Moreover, the condition of the atmosphere at a particular location and time is its weather that includes winds, clouds, precipitation, temperature and relative humidity. In contrast to weather, the climate of a region is the condition of the atmosphere over many years, as described by long term averages of the same properties that determine weather. The variability in the climatic conditions can enhance the temperature of the region where the ozone is depleted. Due to this increase in the temperature, climatic conditions are changed. We have found some correlational structures for determining the variations in climate on the basis of ozone layer depletion. A model has been developed for evaluating sea surface temperature using stratospheric ozone filter. This filter has been formulated taking into account the ozone layer depletion (OLD) strategy for Pakistan atmospheric regions. For making predictions of fluctuations in the temperatures that in turn create climate change in the region, stochastic analysis is implemented here for observing future conjecture of the incoming radiation. These forecasts are useful for public, private and government organizations.
