Title: Ozone depletion continues at record levels - satellite data confirm CFCs as cause

Journal Article · · Antarctic Journal of the United States
OSTI ID:381313

In the stratosphere above the South Pole on 2 October 1994, researcher recorded ozone depletion levels nearly as large and as deep as those observed during the October 1993 record-settling depletion. In addition data gathered during the last three years by instruments on NASA`s upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, and readings from other instrumentation, have provided conclusive evidence that anthropogenic chlorine in the stratosphere causes the ozone depletion in the antarctic stratosphere. The article discusses the evidence. 2 figs.
