The springtime Antarctic ozone depletion
The dynamics, radiation, and chemistry of the atmosphere are outlined in an attempt to explain the processes behind springtime Antarctic ozone depletion. Recent observations made by Gardiner and Shanklin (1986) of the ozone abundance above Halley, Antarctica, a British base situated at 75 deg S, are...
