BrewerDobson

BrewerDobson is a term that may refer to either a hyphenated surname or, more commonly in scientific literature, to the Brewer–Dobson circulation in atmospheric science. The latter is a large-scale pattern of air movement in the stratosphere named for scientists Alan Brewer and Gordon Dobson. The Brewer–Dobson circulation describes tropical upwelling of air and poleward, downward flow at higher latitudes, which acts to transport ozone and other trace gases throughout the stratosphere. This circulation helps explain the vertical and latitudinal distribution of ozone and affects its chemical lifetime, with implications for climate and air quality models. In literature, Brewer–Dobson is usually written with a hyphen; BrewerDobson without a hyphen may appear in informal writing, databases, or as a user name.
