In dealing with environmental pollution, we seem to have focused more on troposphere and sort of neglected the stratosphere. Although we have divided the atmosphere into four different layers, there is no demarcation to separate one layer from...

Paul Crutzen , Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry in 1995, of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, suggests infusing the stratosphere (above the troposphere and directly below the mesosphere, it has a stratified temperature) with...

To add to the prolonged healing of the ozone hole, frigid temperatures in Europe and very cold air in the stratosphere have created a mini hole in its layer above the Netherlands. Unlike the large hole over Antarctica this hole will last a few...

What is Ozone Hole? The ozone hole is a thinning break in the ozone layer. A depletion in the ozone layers called an ‘ozone hole’ when the detected amount of depletion exceeds 50%. It was first discovered over the South Pole in the...

NASA researchers determined the seasonal ozone hole that developed over Antarctica this year. It is found to be smaller this year than in previous years. During the past year, seasonal changes of ozone and other chemicals in the lower stratosphere...
