July 5, 2022 —Scientist reveal a large, all-season ozone hole in the lower stratosphere over the tropics comparable in depth to that of the well-known springtime Antarctic hole, but roughly seven times greater in ...
July 7, 2022 —Researchers have established that the destruction of ozone over the Arctic in the spring causes abnormal weather throughout the northern hemisphere, with many places being warmer and drier than ...
Aug. 24, 2022 —Researchers have developed a new method for assessing the impacts of ozone-destroying substances that threaten the recovery of the ozone ...
Mar. 17, 2022 —A new study shows that smoke from wildfires destroys the ozone layer. Researchers caution that if major fires become more frequent with a changing climate, more damaging ultraviolet radiation from ...
Oct. 27, 2022 —The annual Antarctic ozone hole reached an average area of 8.9 million square miles (23.2 million square kilometers) between Sept. 7 and Oct. 13, 2022. This depleted area of the ozone layer over the ...
June 16, 2021 —Ozone is a pollutant at ground level, but very high in the atmosphere's 'ozone layer,' it absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation. Past studies have examined ozone levels in the ...
Apr. 22, 2022 —New research has identified a lesser-known form of ozone playing a big role in heating the Southern Ocean -- one of Earth's main cooling ...
Aug. 21, 2021 —The same phenomenon that causes aurorae -- the magical curtains of green light often visible from the polar regions of the Earth -- causes mesospheric ozone layer depletion, which could have ...
Mar. 8, 2023 —A new study finds that smoke particles in the stratosphere can trigger chemical reactions that erode the ozone layer -- and that smoke particles from Australian wildfires widened the ozone hole by 10 ...
June 23, 2021 —A new study shows that extremely low winter temperatures high in the atmosphere over the Arctic are becoming more frequent and more extreme because of climate patterns associated with global warming. ...
