Scientific paper

Soundings of the vertical distribution of Antarctic ozone are used here to demonstrate significant features in the development of the spring ozone depletion phenomenon. The process is already underway in the last week of August and has its maximum effect in the second week of October. The active period of ozone destruction therefore appears to last for some seven weeks. There is a minimum in ozone mixing ratio as a function of pressure from the spring equinox onwards. When the depletion is fully developed, the affected region extends from 150 mbar to 20 mbar. Laminar structure is frequently observed before, during, and after the period of maximum depletion, implying that it is generally a consequence of wind shear. Substantial depletion is still present on November 23.
