Antarctic Ozone Sequence 1996 through 2004

This animation shows total ozone in the Antarctic region along with the maximum ozone depth and size since the earliest measurements of Earth Probe instrument on the TOMS satellite. This animation was created for an exhibit at the Smithsonium Museum.

The Earth Probes instrument on the TOMS spacecraft has recorded daily ozone values from July 24, 1996. Areas of red show the highest concentration of ozone measured in dobson units, DU. Areas of purple indicate the lowest concentration, commonly known as the ozone hole. The top plot shows the amount of ozone concentration measured in DU. The bottom plot shows the spatial area in Millions of Kilometers, MKm, of the ozone hole.
