Abstract

Ozone Secondary Effects (OSE) are characterized by the depletion of the ozone layer in medium latitude areas, triggered by the movement of the polar vortex borders over these regions. These air masses may remain in transit from 7 to 20 days after their separation from the vortex and reach inhabited latitudes, causing a temporary reduction in the total column ozone (TCO) over these areas. Detecting such events may help alerting the population and the local authorities on upcoming augmentations in the UV irradiation. In this work we describe our efforts to design a HPC application for OSE detection. This application runs on a pervasive environment, being therefore capable of adapting to the available computing resources of the researchers and institutions interested in such information.
