Schematic of photochemical and dynamical features of polar ozone depletion
Summary: Ingredients for the Antarctica ozone hole formation • Cold temperatures; cold enough for the formation of Polar <strong>Stratospheric</strong> Clouds. – Polar winter leading to the formation of the polar vortex which isolates the air within it. – As the vortex air is isolated, the cold temperatures persist. – This allows the growth of PSCs and subsequent sink to lower altitude, therefore removal of gaseous N species. • Sunlight (to initiate O 3 depletion reaction sequence).
