Abstract
Abstract Ozone decline observed in the stratosphere over the past three decades has resulted from the accumulation of chlorine‐ and bromine‐containing ozone‐depleting substances (ODSs) in the atmosphere. Production of most of these gases is regulated by the Montreal Protocol and its Amendments and Adjustments. The latest observations show a decline in major ODSs in the troposphere as a result of these regulations. Observed changes in global ozone are in line with those expected based on changes in stratospheric levels of chlorine and bromine. A change in the rate of ozone decline was observed in the mid‐1990s. This paper gives a brief overview of the present knowledge of distribution, variability, and long‐term trends in column ozone and ozone profiles, with a focus on observational results and particularly on Canadian data analysis.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
