The greatest damage to the ozone layer is caused by chlorine and nitrogen compounds, which directly destroy it as a result of ...
The rapid growth of rocket launches worldwide could delay the much-needed recovery of Earth’s ozone layer, according to a ...
Stratospheric particles can shape the ozone layer. Remember the ozone layer? If you were around in the 80s, that's likely the period you'd associated it with.
A surge in global rocket launches could potentially hinder the recovery of the ozone layer, according to recent scientific research.
NASA modeled a stratospheric ozone intrusion that impacted Colorado in 2012. So - there ya go. That's how air 10 miles above the ground, caused air quality problems yesterday in southern Colorado.
Ozone, or O3, occurs in two forms in the atmosphere: what scientists call “good ozone” in the stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere that sits 6 to 31 miles above the surface, and “bad ...
Can bushfire smoke reduce the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere? A decade ago, we might have been skeptical. But there's a growing body of research showing a clear link.
Now, that ozone may be at risk because the water emitted by the Hunga Tonga volcano has caused "significant cooling in the stratosphere in southern mid-latitudes," Paul Newman, the chief scientist ...
Similar low ozone levels occurred in the upper atmosphere, or stratosphere, in 1997 and 2011. In comparison, the lowest March ozone value observed in the Arctic is usually around 240 Dobson units.
