Scientific paper

Studies of the Antarctic ozone hole are reviewed, showing that the ozone hole situation has a high degree of spatiotemporal structure which is often overlooked. Sharp distinctions in the structure are found between September and October behavior, between behavior at 50 mb and at 100 mb, and between soundings taken inside, outside, and near the edge of the polar vortex. It is shown that the interannual variability in column ozone due solely to variability in ozone transport should be strongest outside the vortex, while the air within the vortex should be well shielded from winter and springtime transport effects. Dynamical principles relevant to the ozone hole and diabatic circulation structure are discussed. It is suggested that there is considerable evidence to challenge the vortex isolation hypothesis.
