NASA and NOAA recently announced good news concerning the ozone hole. What are lessons about science, policy and skepticism ...
MOLINE, Ill. — You've likely heard about the ozone layer at some point or another. But, did you know that there are two types of ozone? Let's dive in! Ozone is formed when you pair three oxygen atoms ...
The same phenomenon that causes aurorae — the magical curtains of green light often visible from the polar regions of the Earth — causes mesospheric ozone layer depletion. This depletion could have ...
The Earth's ozone layer is expected to recover within the next 40 years as ozone-depleting chemicals are being phased out of use, a panel of international experts backed by the U.N. says. The panel, ...
Researchers have developed a new method for assessing the impacts of ozone-destroying substances that threaten the recovery of the ozone layer. Researchers have developed a new method for assessing ...
The ozone layer is one of the most important parts of our planet's atmosphere. As a result, keeping the ozone intact and with as few holes as possible has been a goal of the science community for many ...
Commercial space launches are impacting Earth's ozone layer. Rocket exhaust releases chemicals that degrade ozone. Satellite re-entries also contribute to depletion. Scientists warn that unchecked ...
The ozone layer is slowly restoring itself and is expected to be on par with 1980 levels by 2066, according to a United Nations assessment of the goals set forth in the Montreal Protocol released this ...
The ozone layer is on track to heal within four decades, according to a recent UN report, but this progress could be undone by an upsurge in rocket launches expected during the same period. The ozone ...
Bizarre, beautiful clouds—known as mother-of-pearl clouds because they resemble the inside of a pearl oyster shell—have been caught on camera high in the sky over Norway. These polar stratospheric ...
In this study, we analyzed the evolution of the surface ozone concentration in northwestern Italy and its relation to weather types (WTs) during the 2003−2014 period, by downloading and processing the ...
In geospace, the Arase satellite observes chorus waves and energetic electrons, while on the ground, EISCAT and optical instruments observe pulsating aurorae and electron precipitation in the ...
