HYDROGEN DEGASSING OF THE EARTH AND OZONE ANOMALIES

Abstract

The objective of this work is to estimate the reaction of the ozone layer to the increase in molecular hydrogen concentration in the stratosphere. The performed investigations into characteristics of the ozone anomaly, caused by the increase in hydrogen concentration and investigations of hydrogen emergence in the atmosphere in the process of the Earth’s degassing, have shown that the power of the known hydrogen sources is insufficient for affecting the ozone layer.
