Water vapour and hydrogen in the terrestrial-planet-forming region of a protoplanetary disk
Article Abstract:
The spectrally dispersed near-infrared interferometric observations that detect the gas along with the dust within one astronomical unit of the young star MWC 480 are presented. The interactions of the accreting gas with migrating planets might lead to short-period exoplanets like those detected around main-sequence stars and the water vapour is produced by the sublimation of migrating icy bodies, providing a reservoir of water for terrestrial planets.

The effect of climate change on ozone depletion through changes in stratospheric water vapour
Article Abstract:
Certain studies have predicted substantial rise in Arctic ozone depletion due to stratospheric cooling from increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Predictions of tropical tropopause temperatures from a general circulation model were combined with results from a one-dimensional radiative convective model, to investigate if climate change may additionally influence Arctic ozone depletion via changes in the water vapour cycle.
