| Summary: | The factors that influence Antarctic ozone are examined with a view to understanding the observed historical trend. Researchers show that reduced ambient temperatures can dramatically enhance the efficiency of chemical removal processes. Attention is focused on positive feedback between levels of ozone, temperature, and rates of heterogeneous chemical reactions. ClO and its dimer, and high levels of these gases are maintained until the clouds evaporate, on 15 September for the simulation shown here. |
