The ozone hole measurements at the Indian station Maitri in Antarctica
International audience Stratospheric ozone is a trace gas of great importance as it filters harmful ultraviolet radiations reaching the earth surface. Since ozone influences temperature and dynamics of the stratosphere, it is also a climate-relevant gas by influencing tropospheric temperature. Signi...
