Delay in recovery of the Antarctic ozone hole from unexpected CFC-11 emissions [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The Antarctic ozone hole is decreasing in size due to policies implemented following the Montreal Protocol. Here, model simulations show that if recently discovered increase in unreported CFC-11 emissions continue, they could delay the recovery of the ...

The Antarctic ozone hole and the pattern effect on climate sensitivity. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Significance We provide a perspective on recent scientific literature that argues the reduction in climate sensitivity identified with relative cooling in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean could be caused by the onset of the Antarctic ozone hole ...

The influence of iodine on the Antarctic stratospheric ozone hole. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Significance The role of chlorine and bromine in Antarctic stratospheric ozone depletion is well known. However, the contribution of iodine to the ozone hole chemistry has not been assessed, mainly due to the negligible amounts of iodine previously ...

Australian wildfires cause the largest stratospheric warming since Pinatubo and extends the lifetime of the Antarctic ozone hole. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Global mean lower stratosphere temperatures rose abruptly in January 2020 reaching values not experienced since the early 1990s. Anomalously high lower stratospheric temperatures were recorded for 4 months at highly statistically significant levels. Here,

Antarctic ozone hole modifies iodine geochemistry on the Antarctic Plateau. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 Polar stratospheric ozone has decreased since the 1970s due to anthropogenic emissions of chlorofluorocarbons and halons, resulting in the formation of an ozone hole over Antarctica.

Fingerprints of the cosmic ray driven mechanism of the ozone hole [PDF]
AIP Advances, 2021 There is long research interest in electron-induced reactions of halogenated molecules. It has been two decades since the cosmic-ray (CR) driven electron-induced reaction (CRE) mechanism for the ozone hole formation was proposed. The derived CRE equation

Brief communication "Stratospheric winds, transport barriers and the 2011 Arctic ozone hole" [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2012 The Arctic stratosphere throughout the late winter and early spring of 2011 was characterized by an unusually severe ozone loss, resulting in what has been described as an ozone hole.

An Arctic ozone hole in 2020 if not for the Montreal Protocol [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Without the Montreal Protocol, the already extreme Arctic ozone losses in the boreal spring of 2020 would be expected to have produced an Antarctic-like ozone hole, based upon simulations performed using the specified dynamics version of the Whole ...
