GAW Report, 278. Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2022 (GAW 278)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); et al. - WMO, 2022To help maintain a broad understanding of the relationship between ozone depletion, ODSs, and the Montreal Protocol, this component of the Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2014 presents 20 questions and answers about the often-complex science of ozone depletion. Most questions and answers are updates of those presented in previous Ozone Assessments, and a few have been expanded to address newly emerging issues. The questions address the nature of atmospheric ozone, the chemicals that cause ozone deple tion, how global and polar ozone depletion occur, the extent of ozone depletion, the ...
Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2022 - Executive Summary
World Meteorological Organization (WMO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), European Commission - WMO, UNEP, NOAA, NASA, European Commission, 2022The Montreal Protocol established three assessment panels, one of which is the Scientific Assessment Panel (SAP). The SAP consists of top scientists of the international scientific community to periodically update governments on the latest scientific findings related to the state of the ozone layer. Initiated in 1985 and conducted every four years, the 2022 Quadrennial Assessment of Ozone Depletion is continuation and the latest of the series of Reports under World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Ozone Research and Monitoring project which is now embedded in the series “Ozone research ...
ORM11 GAW 271, 271. Report of Part II of the Eleventh Meeting of the Ozone Research Managers of the Parties to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer (Online Meeting, 19-23 July 2021)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); Part II of the Eleventh Meeting of the Ozone Research Managers of the Parties to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer (Online Meeting, 19-23 July 2021) - WMO, 2021
Report on the Unexpected Emissions of CFC-11 (WMO-No. 1268)
The Report was written by the Scientific Assessment Panel to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. CFC-11 (CCl3F) was reportedly fully controlled under the Montreal Protocol since 2010. However, a 2018 scientific paper revealed that instead of decreasing, CFC-11 emissions were increasing. In reaction, the Protocol parties agreed to Decision XXX/3: Unexpected emissions of trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11). This Report addresses: current and past observations of CFC-11 atmospheric abundances; information on the CFC-11 global and regional emission increase and subsequent ...
Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2018 (GORMP 58)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); et al. - WMO, 2018The Assessment documents the advances in scientific understanding of ozone depletion reflecting the thinking of the many international scientific experts who have contributed to its preparation and review. These advances add to the scientific basis for decisions made by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. It is based on longer observational records, new chemistry- climate model simulations, and new analyses.

Quel est l’état de la couche d’ozone?: Le point sur l’évaluation la plus récente eff ectuée par l’OMM/PNUE
Bulletin, Vol. 64(1). OMM, 2016L’évaluation de l’état de la couche d’ozone réalisée en 2014, la plus récente en date, établit des prévisions concernant le retour aux valeurs d’avant 1980. Sous les latitudes moyennes de l’hémisphère Nord (35-60°N), la concentration d’ozone total est aujourd’hui inférieure d’environ 3,5 % à ce qu’elle était pendant la période 1964-1980. Sous les latitudes moyennes de l’hémisphère Sud (35-60°S), elle est inférieure de 6 % environ. La déperdition plus importante observée dans l’hémisphère Sud est liée au trou qui se forme dans la couche d’ozone au-dessus de l’Antarctique. Après la baisse du tau ...
SatFC-G: IR Bands, Excluding Water Vapor
This lesson introduces seven of the ten infrared imager bands on the GOES R-U ABI (Advanced Baseline Imager). It examines the spectral characteristics of each band to facilitate a better understanding of band selection and what each band observes, and to shed light on some of the many potential applications. This lesson is a part of the NWS Satellite Foundation GOES-R Course.

Is the Ozone Layer on the Mend? Highlights from the most recent WMO/UNEP Ozone Assessment
Bulletin, Vol. 64(1). WMO, 2015The 2014 Ozone Assessment provides the latest update of the current state of the ozone layer and makes predictions on when the ozone layer will return to 1980 values. In the northern middle latitudes (35-60°N), total ozone is now about 3.5% less than it was in the period from 1964-1980. At southern middle latitudes (35-60°S), it is about 6% less. The larger depletion in the Southern Hemisphere is linked to the Antarctic ozone hole. Following the decline in total ozone during the 1980s and 1990s, the situation has stabilized since 2000. Hidden under the inter-annual variability, there are indic ...

Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2014 - Assessment for Decision-Makers (GORMP 55)
The present document will be part of the information upon which the Parties to the United Nations Montreal Protocol will base their future decisions regarding ozone-depleting substances, their alternatives, and protection of the ozone layer. It is the latest in a long series of scientific assessments that have informed the Parties.
