abstract = {Possible causes of a future increase in stratospheric H2O
are increasing tropospheric methane levels and a rise in
tropospheric H-2 due to leakages from a possible increased
integration of hydrogen into the energy supply system. Here
we quantify the direct chemical impact of potential future
stratospheric H2O increases on Arctic ozone loss using the
cold Arctic winter 2004/2005 as the basis for our study. We
present simulations with the three-dimensional chemistry
transport model CLaMS using enhanced stratospheric H2O
values. Previous studies emphasized that increasing H2O
concentrations cause stratospheric cooling, and some have
suggested that this could significantly increase
halogen-induced polar ozone loss. The impact of both
increased stratospheric H2O values and decreased
temperatures on simulated ozone depletion is investigated.
Assuming an average increase of water vapor in the lower
polar stratosphere of approximate to 0.58 ppmv (averaged
over equivalent latitudes >= 65 degrees N, from 400-550 K
potential temperature and from December to March) and in
addition decreased temperatures (-0.2 K) yields at most 6.8
DU (approximate to 11 $\%)$ more accumulated ozone loss in
mid-March for the Arctic polar winter 2004/2005 compared to
the ozone loss for undisturbed conditions. The assumed H2O
enhancement in future decades is in the range of current
model predictions. Considering in addition the decrease of
the future chlorine loading (-40 $\%)$ of enhanced H2O
values (see above) yields at most 3.4 DU (10 $\%)$ of
accumulated ozone loss in springtime compared to current H2O
values. The impact of a potential future hydrogen economy
alone (assuming an averaged increase of 0.18 ppmv H2O in the
lower stratosphere) on springtime accumulated ozone loss is
found to be negligible (at most 2.5 DU (4 $\%))$ in this
study.},
