Demonstrates the importance of ozone to climate by comparing general circulation model (GCM) simulated present climates between two atmospheric ozone climatologies: a version currently used in the NCAR GCM's (CCM1 and GENESIS) and an updated version. Results suggest that atmospheric ozone is important in simulating the regional climate and observed ozone changes in the last few decades may have played an important role in affecting the climate.
