| Description: |
Here, using a state-of-the-art chemistry-climate model, the Community Earth System Model (Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model) [CESM(WACCM)], it is shown that the Montreal Protocol, through its impact on atmospheric ozone-depleting substances concentrations, leads to a substantial decrease in Antarctic surface mass balance (SMB) over the period 2006-65 relative to a hypothetical "World Avoided" scenario in which the Montreal Protocol has not been implemented.
