Скачать или смотреть Antarctic Ozone Hole Shrinks to Smallest Size Since 2019, Scientists Say

The ozone hole over Antarctica this year was the smallest and shortest lasting since 2019. Data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) shows the gap in the ozone layer reached a peak of 21 million sq km in September before steadily contracting and closing earlier than usual on Monday. This marks the second consecutive year of smaller ozone holes following several larger, long-lasting ones recorded between 2020 and 2023.

Scientific assessments have shown that the phaseout of these chemicals has lowered harmful emissions and curbed their warming effect sooner than expected. The World Meteorological Organization estimates that Antarctic ozone levels could return to their 1980 baseline by 2066.
Researchers are still investigating why the holes from 2020 to 2023 were unusually large. Many scientists suspect that the 2022 Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption, which injected massive amounts of ash and water vapour into the stratosphere, contributed to the size of the 2023 hole.
