Atmospheric ozone at South Pole, Antarctica, in 1986
Results of NOAA's measurements of the ozone vertical distributions at the South Pole and of the annual course of total ozone, conducted in 1986 with balloon-borne electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) ozonesondes and a Dobson spectrophotometer, are described. The major finding was that the s...

The major finding was that the stratospheric ozone decreases abruptly between September 20 and October 15, with the bulk decrease occurring between 12 and 21 km.
