It’s the largest hole in more than a decade and shows that, while the ozone layer is healing, it’s a long road to full recovery.
It’s the largest hole in more than a decade and shows that, while the ozone layer is healing, it’s a long road to full recovery.
The seasonal ozone hole over Antarctica will persist well into November, according to satellite and weather balloon observations from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Rare hole is result of low temperatures in atmosphere and is expected to disappear
The world has some good news to look forward to amid the novel coronavirus outbreak: a hole in the ozone layer is in recovery.
Seeing the ozone hole permanently vanish won’t be for another decade, but for 2019, it has sealed itself up in near-record time
For the first time, scientists have shown through direct satellite observations of the ozone hole that levels of ozone-destroying chlorine are declining, resulting in less ozone depletion.
Scientists at MIT and elsewhere have identified the “first fingerprints of healing” of the Antarctic ozone layer
