The jet stream patterns around the southern hemisphere were changing due to the ozone depletion. The minimum daily ozone of the year, from 1979-2018, is shown in this graph.

The ozone layer is on track to fully recover from its depletion within the next four decades, a panel of scientists gathered by the United Nations said on Monday. In an assessment conducted every four ...

Stephen Montzka, senior scientist of the NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory, says: 'For 2024, we can see that the ozone hole’s severity is below average compared to other years in the past three ...

The spectre of ozone-depletion came to the fore this fall when 120 000 Chileans were warned to stay indoors during prime sunlight hours. De Gruijl says these warnings are “understandable” in the face ...

"The Antarctic ozone hole is recovering, while continuing to occur every year. As a result of the Montreal Protocol, much more severe ozone depletion in the polar regions has been avoided," the ...

That makes it the most persistent Arctic ozone hole on record as well. The European Space Agency's Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite watched this record-setting ozone hole through its peak.

A “huge” ozone hole that was not expected to exist has been identified in the Earth’s atmosphere over almost the entire tropical region. The hole is a year-round gap in the planet’s ozone layer, and ...

While ozone depletion affects Southern Hemisphere climate, global ozone recovery is in turn affected by emissions of dominant greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane.

It wasn’t until the 1980s when scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica that they realized the full extent of the ozone-depleting nature of these chemicals. In 1987, 197 ...

“While the current ozone hole is larger than in recent years, the area occupied by this year’s hole is consistent with our understanding of ozone depletion chemistry and consistent with colder ...

A hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica typically reaches its maximum size in September or early October, and then dissipates into smaller parts throughout southern latitudes, affecting the UV ...
