Science

Which outcome results when atmospheric ozone approaches a vibrational resonance with outgoing terrestrial infrared radiation?

A)Enhanced radiative energy absorption
B)Decreased ozone layer lifetime
C)Reduced UV radiation scattering
D)Increased stratospheric convection rates

💡 Explanation

The energy transfer to ozone increases because vibrational resonance amplifies the absorption cross-section. Stronger infrared absorption results, therefore increasing the fraction of Earth’s outgoing radiation absorbed by ozone, rather than reduced absorption which would occur off-resonance.
