Abstract: On 16 September 1987, the main chlorofluorocarbon-producing and -consuming countries signed the Montreal Protocol, despite the absence of a scientific consensus on the mechanisms of ozone depletion over Antarctica. We argue in this article that… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/acp-2020-1297
Abstract: Abstract. Without the Montreal Protocol the already extreme Arctic ozone losses in boreal spring of 2020 would be expected to have produced an Antarctic-like ozone hole, with an area of total ozone below 220 DU of… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/acp-23-5135-2023
Abstract: Abstract. It is now recognized and confirmed that the ozone layer shields the biosphere from dangerous solar UV radiation and is also important for the global atmosphere and climate. The observed massive ozone depletion forced… read more here.
