Abstract:

Long-term changes of basic characteristics of the Antarctic ozone hole are considered. We show that from the end of 1980s a change of basic characteristics of the ozone hole during first 10 years were impacted in great extent by changes of temperature in the low stratosphere; during the next 10 years changes of ozone characteristics and temperature were not statistically trustworthy. A conclusion was done that the basic characteristics of the ozone hole during last 15 years were stabilized and their future changes would be strongly impacted by dynamics of the atmosphere.
