A Small Double Ozone Hole in 2002

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The ozone hole, a region of depleted ozone in the stratosphere over Antarctica, reappeared in 2002, but with an unusual double-lobed structure and smaller size than in previous years. Ozone protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. International efforts to reduce ozone-depleting chemicals appear to be having a positive effect on its atmospheric abundance.
