A Near Record Ozone Hole in 2003
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
The ozone hole near Earth's South Pole is back again this year, slightly larger than North America. It is larger than last year's hole, but short of the record set in 2000. Ozone shields us from damaging ultraviolet sunlight. It is vulnerable to CFCs and halons, but international efforts to reduce these chemicals appear to be having a positive effect.
