What is the ozone hole and what does it have to do with our антарктичної🇦🇶 Akademik Vernadsky station? Is the ozone layer recovering after the ban on CFCs? What is the overall dynamics of the hole in recent years?
To mark the International Day for the Protection of the Ozone Layer on 16 September, we are answering frequently asked questions on this topic.
We are thankful for help in preparing the materials to Hennadii Milinevskyi, leader and ozonometrist of the first Ukrainian Antarctic expedition, and to Serhii Yakushchenko, ozonometrist of the current 29th Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition.
