admin The ozone hole is created above Antarctica, encompassed by large oceans every year. However, an unusual opening in the ozone layer was recorded during the observations made this year through the Arctic. Scientists have declared that they have observed a vast decrease in the ozone hole on the Arctic.
It was reported that the ozone holes formed every year on the Arctic will close by mid-April. It was also noted that the size of the hole this year has never been seen before. According to the new statement given by The European Space Agency (ESA).
Rare atmospheric conditions, consisting freezing temperatures in the stratosphere, caused ozone levels to drop and as a result a ‘mini hole’ in the ozone layer. According to the data collected from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite, scientists observed that ozone concentrations in the Arctic were drastically reduced.
Ozone hole closes again:
We all know, the Ozone layer protects life on earth from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the Sun. Harmful ultraviolet radiation causes problems with skin cancer and cataracts and other environmental issues. Scientists from the German Aviation and Space Center (DLR) have observed drastically strong ozone consumption in the arctic areas in the past weeks.
Small ozone holes were detected in the past weeks from time to time on the North Pole. Although, the depletion at the Arctic this year is much greater than in early years. The European Space Agency stated on the website: “Since March 14, the ozone column on the Arctic has been shrinking to a size considered to be the normal ozone hole. We expect the hole to close again in mid-April.”
