Abstract. The extent of springtime Arctic ozone loss does not reach Antarctic “ozone hole ” dimensions because of the generally higher temperatures in the northern hemisphere vortex and consequent less polar stratospheric cloud (PSC) particle surface for heterogeneous chlorine activation. Yet, with...
