Scientists recorded a total-column ozone concentration of 102 Dobson units, the 8th-lowest level since 1986.
In 2017, the ozone hole was the smallest since 1988. Models predict that the Antarctic ozone layer will mostly recover by 2040. Editor’s Note: The uneven seam in the contours of the data marks ...
The ozone hole above Antarctica will keep opening up each spring for decades to come: Why that still matters. Story by Laura Revell, Dan Smale, Richard McKenzie • 2w.
NOAA and NASA scientists estimate the ozone layer could fully recover by 2066 and no longer have a hole opening each year. "The 2024 Antarctic hole is smaller than ozone holes seen in the early ...
Despite public perception, the Antarctic ozone hole has been remarkably massive and long-lived over the past four years; researchers believe chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) aren't the only things to blame.
Antarctica's mid-spring ozone hole has grown in the last 20 years, a new study has found. The ozone layer over Antarctica has seen a 26 percent reduction since 2004, the new study published in ...
The ozone hole over Antarctica is relatively small and healthy at the moment, providing further proof that the ozone layer is on the path toward a full recovery. That’s the good news.
The Antarctic ozone hole usually starts forming in early August, but rare warming events and a strangely elongated polar vortex this year may have delayed its arrival. News.
Scientists launch a NOAA ozonesonde, frost point hygrometer, and POPS aerosol particle counter on a balloon to help monitor the Antarctic Ozone Hole on October 5, 2024 at the Amundsen-Scott ...
Tech & Science Ozone hole over Antarctica just keeps getting bigger and bigger. The 2023 ozone hole has already surpassed the size of the three years prior.
The 2015 Antarctic ozone hole area was larger and formed later than in recent years, said scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
At this time of year, as the sun rises over Antarctica, a “hole” opens up in Earth’s ozone layer. The ozone layer is a vital planetary boundary that protects all life on Earth from the sun ...
