Antarctic ozone hole as observed by IASI/MetOp for 2008–2010 [PDF]
In this paper we present a study of the ozone hole as observed by the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) on-board the MetOp-A European satellite platform from the beginning of data dissemination, August 2008, to the end of December 2010.

Impact of biogenic very short-lived bromine on the Antarctic ozone hole during the 21st century [PDF]
Active bromine released from the photochemical decomposition of biogenic very short-lived bromocarbons (VSLBr) enhances stratospheric ozone depletion. Based on a dual set of 1960–2100 coupled chemistry–climate simulations (i.e.

An Arctic ozone hole in 2020 if not for the Montreal Protocol [PDF]
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 ...

Forecasts and assimilation experiments of the Antarctic ozone hole 2008 [PDF]
The 2008 Antarctic ozone hole was one of the largest and most long-lived in recent years. Predictions of the ozone hole were made in near-real time (NRT) and hindcast mode with the Integrated Forecast System (IFS) of the European Centre for Medium-Range ...

The simulation of the Antarctic ozone hole by chemistry-climate models [PDF]
While chemistry-climate models are able to reproduce many characteristics of the global total column ozone field and its long-term evolution, they have fared less well in simulating the commonly used diagnostic of the area of the Antarctic ozone hole i.e.

Quasi-stationary planetary waves in late winter Antarctic stratosphere temperature as a possible indicator of spring total ozone [PDF]
Stratospheric preconditions for the annual Antarctic ozone hole are analyzed using the amplitude of quasi-stationary planetary waves in temperature as a predictor of total ozone column behaviour.

Characterization of aerosol number size distributions and their effect on cloud properties at Syowa Station, Antarctica [PDF]
We took aerosol measurements at Syowa Station, Antarctica, to characterize the aerosol number–size distribution and other aerosol physicochemical properties in 2004–2006.

Ozone Evolution in the Past and Future [PDF]
The stratospheric ozone is important for the protection of the biosphere from the dangerous ultraviolet radiation of the sun, forms the temperature and dynamical structure of the stratosphere, and, therefore, has a direct influence on the general ...

The impact of the mixing properties within the Antarctic stratospheric vortex on ozone loss in spring [PDF]
Calculations of equivalent length from an artificial advected tracer provide new insight into the isentropic transport processes occurring within the Antarctic stratospheric vortex. These calculations show two distinct regions of approximately equal area:
