Annotation
Tropospheric ozone (TO) is a greenhouse gas and a reactive and toxic pollutant detrimental to human health and ecosystem productivity. The influence of TO on climate is assessed in terms of its radiative forcing (RF), which is determined as a change in the Earth’s energy flux since 1750 due to changes in TO burden. Based on outputs of multiple models, global-average RF of TO is estimated to be +(0.40 ± 0.20) W m-2, which is approximately 10% of the total anthropogenic RF for the entire industrial period.

Description:
Fast collimated plasma clumps, known as jets, are observed in a wide variety of plasma media and exist over a wide range of parameters. Events of this kind are especially characteristic of astrophysical and heliospheric plasmas. In this case, the energetic plasma displaces the background medium and the magnetic field, generating perturbations at distances much larger than the size of the source.
