Scientists Discover Large, All-Season Ozone Hole Over Tropics, 7 Times Larger Than Antarctic Hole
Scientists discovered an all-season ozone hole in lower stratosphere above tropics that is equivalent in-depth to well-known springtime Antarctic hole but nearly seven times larger in size. The measured findings accord well with cosmic-ray-driven electron reaction (CRE) hypothesis and strongly suggest that both Antarctic and tropical ozone holes are caused by the same physical process. An all-season ozone hole is described as a region of… read-more

Ozone May Be Heating Earth More Than We Know, Claims Study

In addition, the impact was visible in ocean waters bordering Antarctica in the second half of the 20th century. ''This study reveals it also has a big impact on the ocean’s ability to absorb excess heat from the atmosphere,'' stated a researcher.
