GORMP, 49. An Overview of the 2005 Antartic Ozone Hole
This report contains a collection of all the eight WMO Antarctic Ozone Bulletins that were issued over the course of the 2005 ozone hole season. These Bulletins are based on data from the ground, from balloons and from satellites. Many stations and institutions have put efforts into providing data in near real time. Without such timely delivery of data it would not have been possible to produce the Bulletins. Acknowledgements are found in each of the Bulletins.
