Climate change favours large seasonal loss of Arctic ozone
Nature Communications, 2021 Despite a ban on ozone depleting substances, ozone depletion during cold winters in the Arctic stratosphere has been increasing in recent decades. Here, the authors show conditions favourable for Arctic ozone depletion could worsen as a response of ...

Numerical analysis of the chemical kinetic mechanisms of ozone depletion and halogen release in the polar troposphere [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 The role of halogen species (e.g., Br, Cl) in the troposphere of polar regions has been investigated since the discovery of their importance for boundary layer ozone destruction in the polar spring about 25 years ago. Halogen species take part in an auto-

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 Elevated concentrations of atmospheric bromine are known to cause ozone depletion in the Arctic, which is most frequently observed during springtime. We implement a detailed description of bromine and chlorine chemistry within the WRF‐Chem 4.1.1 model ...

The spatial scale of ozone depletion events derived from an autonomous surface ozone network in coastal Antarctica [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 To probe the spatial extent of tropospheric ozone depletion events during Antarctic spring, a network of 10 autonomous ozone monitors was established around the Dronning Maud Land sector of Antarctica for a full calendar year.

Antarctic ozone depletion between 1960 and 1980 in observations and chemistry–climate model simulations [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 The year 1980 has often been used as a benchmark for the return of Antarctic ozone to conditions assumed to be unaffected by emissions of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), implying that anthropogenic ozone depletion in Antarctica started around 1980.

Stratospheric ozone depletion [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 1991 Solar ultraviolet radiation creates an ozone layer in the atmosphere which in turn completely absorbs the most energetic fraction of this radiation. This process both warms the air, creating the stratosphere between 15 and 50 km altitude, and protects the biological activities at the Earth's surface from this damaging radiation.

Influence of Stratospheric Ozone Changes on Stratospheric Temperature Trends in Recent Decades
Remote Sensing, 2022 Associated with the recovery of stratospheric ozone, stratospheric cooling has decelerated since the late 1990s. This study investigates the contribution of ozone changes to the long-term stratospheric temperature trends in recent decades using satellite

Sensitivity of the Southern Hemisphere circumpolar jet response to Antarctic ozone depletion: prescribed versus interactive chemistry [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 Southern Hemisphere lower-stratospheric ozone depletion has been shown to lead to a poleward shift of the tropospheric jet stream during austral summer, influencing surface atmosphere and ocean conditions, such as surface temperatures and sea ice extent.
