Abstract

It becomes more apparent that physical processes throughout the atmosphere, as vertically and horizontally, are correlated on different spatial and time scales. The total ozone has various concentrations over the whole Earth’s atmosphere. A sharp correlation between total ozone, stratosphere profile, and tropospheric circulation was observed. Last experiments have shown that positive stratospheric ozone anomalies can lead to more dangerous effects on weather-climate change. The study of specific anomalous phenomena in the regional climate experimentally and by the method of mathematical modelling demonstrates the severe influence of an increase in the concentration of stratospheric ozone, including Sudden Stratospheric Warming (S.S.W.), on the features of not only local weather changes but also on variations in the climate of the hemispheres in a global scale. Climate change adaptation is adapting native, social, or economic systems in response to actual or anticipated climate changes and their consequences. Adaptation to Sudden Stratospheric Warming is often impossible and therefore it is necessary to develop theoretical aspects of forecasting such phenomena.
