Studies show that ozone depletion has been more pronounced in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in high-latitude areas. This is due to the presence of colder temperatures, which facilitate the ...

Imminent loss of NASA's Aura and Canada's SCISAT will severely diminish scientists’ ability to monitor ozone-depleting substances in the stratosphere.

Ravishankara and colleagues 3 quantify the ozone depletion potential of nitrous oxide — essentially a measure of the amount of ozone destroyed by nitrous oxide, compared with that destroyed by ...

Fires and agricultural soils can rival cars and factories in emitting chemicals that lead to ozone, making it hard to meet air quality standards.

Due to colder temperatures and isolation from mid-latitudes by the polar vortex (a strong system of wind near the Earth’s polar regions), the atmosphere above Antarctica is particularly vulnerable to ...
