Antarctic Ozone Sequence 1979 through 2004, Data Dropouts Removed

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. Data dropouts have been removed for the following times: 1998/12/14-31, 2002/08/03-11, 2003/11/28-2003/12/02.

NASA has been recording ozone values since 1979. This animation shows high concentration of ozone in red. It shows low concentration of ozone, also known as the ozone hole, in purple. Notice that the Ozone HOle did not develop until the mid 1980s.
