In the meantime, the ozone hole continues to form above Antarctica each spring, causing cascading changes in temperature, winds and rainfall patterns across the Southern Hemisphere. Ozone ...

Earlier this year, researchers said the ozone over the region was recovering. The annual ozone hole that forms over Antarctica has ballooned to near-record size, scientists say. Measurements from ...

Just as the sea ice around Antarctica grows and retreats each year, so does the ozone hole above the continent. And this year, that hole has grown a lot. Observations from the European Space ...

Scientists expect the ozone hole to shrink back to the size it was in 1980 by approximately 2070. Thanks to unusually warm temperatures high above Antarctica this month, the ozone hole shrank to ...

The ozone layer above the Antarctic may be healing at last, according to a promising new study. The Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) found that the hole above the South Pole closed ...

Here’s how it works. The ozone hole above Antarctica has opened up unusually early this year. Scientists think the cataclysmic Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption that sent shockwaves around the world ...

Here’s how it works. This year's hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica is one of the biggest ever seen, satellite data shows. Experts believe the huge gap in Earth's protective shield may ...

above Antarctica. More Mario Tama/Getty Images The worrying gap was revealed in the lower stratosphere over the tropics, similar in depth to that of the well-known Antarctic ozone hole that ...

the current ozone hole area is still large compared to the 1980s, when the depletion of the ozone layer above Antarctica was first detected. This is because levels of ozone-depleting substances ...

Four decades ago, scientists sounded the alarm after discovering a growing 'hole' in the ozone above Antarctica. This protective layer of gas shields life on Earth from the sun's harmful ...

In the meantime, the ozone hole continues to form above Antarctica each spring, causing cascading changes in temperature, winds and rainfall patterns across the Southern Hemisphere. Ozone ...
