The 2023 Southern Hemisphere #ozonehole finally closed on 20 December, becoming the 7th longest-lived in the #CopernicusAtmosphere records. The animation shows the evolution from its early start in August to this late closure. Find out more: atmosphere.copernicus.eu/lar…
Antarctic #ozonehole keeps intriguing this season #CopernicusAtmosphere data showed series of rebounds in late Nov when it usually declines until its closure. Our forecasts indicate it could become the largest ever observed in Dec
The 2023 Antarctic #ozonehole is persisting until late November, at a time when the area is usually decreasing quickly until it closes. #CopernicusAtmosphere provides continuous monitoring of its development & latest charts can be found at atmosphere.copernicus.eu/mon…
An update from our @NOAA_ESRL#GlobalMonitoringLab team tracking the #ozonehole: South Pole ozonesondes flown measured significantly more ozone, a sign the vortex is closing & warmer air is mixing over Antarctica. Read the @CIRESnews blog post for more: ow.ly/9SOT50PVN9R
RT @AntjeInness: (1/2) After an early start, the 2023 #OzoneHole is now showing more average dimensions and is smaller than at this time in 2021 and 2022. The #PolarVortex is elongated and slightly displaced from the pole, just reaching the tip of South America. #CopernicusAtmosphere
RT @m_parrington: Millennium Falcon over the South Pole as the 2023 #Antarctic#OzoneHole continues to develop. Image shows #CopernicusAtmosphere total column ozone forecast initialized 12 Sept 00 UTC valid for 12 UTC.
RT @AntjeInness: The Antarctic #OzoneHole continues to deepen. Slightly less extreme than in Aug but still larger than at the same time in the previous 2 years. Interesting to see the differences at Neumayer @AWI_Media and South Pole @NOAA_ESRL with lower O3 around the sunlit edge of the vortex
