Cosmic ray–driven electron-induced reaction theory quantifies spatiotemporal variations in lower-stratospheric ozone and temperature

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 27, July 2025. <br/>SignificanceCosmic rays (CRs) play a triggering role in destroying the ozone layer, which is vital to Earth’s living environment. This paper applies the CR–driven electron-induced reaction (CRE) theory to obtain a quantitative understanding of …
