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 ...

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 taux d’ozone total observée au cours des années 1980 et 1990, la situation s’est stabilisée depuis 2000. Il semblerait que de légères hausses soient survenues au cours des récentes années, mais elles sont masquées par la variabilité interannuelle et ne sont pas statistiquement signifi - catives. À une altitude d’environ 40 km, on relève des signes d’une augmentation récente plus nette de la concentration d’ozone dont la signifi cation statistique devra faire l’objet d’études plus approfondies.

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 ...

Hidden under the inter-annual variability, there are indications of a small increase in recent years, but it is not statistically significant. At around 40km altitude there are signs of a more clear recent increase in ozone, but the statistical significance of this increase is subject to further studies in the science community.

Evidence for the effectiveness of the Montreal Protocol to protect the ozone layer
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP), Vol. 10. N° 24. Mäder J.A.; Staehelin Johannes; Peter T.; et al. - Copernicus GmbH, 2011The release of man-made ozone depleting substances (ODS, including chlorofluorocarbons and halons) into the atmosphere has led to a near-linear increase in stratospheric halogen loading since the early 1970s, which levelled off after the mid-1990s and then started to decline, in response to the ban of many ODS by the Montreal Protocol (1987). We developed a multiple linear regression model to test whether this already had a measurable effect on total ozone values observed by the global network of ground-based instruments. The model includes explanatory variables describing the influence of var ...

Handbook for the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the Ozone Layer - seventh edition
UNEP, 2006Since 1991 the publication of the Handbook for the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (1987) has proved to be an invaluable reference source for the decisions the Parties have made in the process of developing the ozone regime. The Handbook itself is published in response to the Parties’ decision (made in 1990) requesting the Secretariat to publish and update regularly a Handbook, setting out the Protocol, as adjusted and amended, together with the decisions of the Parties and other relevant material. Since then, the Protocol has been adjusted on six occasions and ame ...

Capacity building for ozone monitoring in developing countries
WMO, 2006Capacity building for ozone monitoring and research in developing countries and in countries with economies in transition comes from the general commitments anchored in the Vienna Convention. The Parties under the Vienna Convention established the Trust Fund for Research and Systematic Observations for funding activities consistent with the objectives of the Vienna Convention and the recommendations of the Ozone Research Managers’ Meetings. Those aims are also consistent with the Strategy for the Implementation of the Global Atmosphere Watch Programme (GAW) of the World Meteorological Organiza ...

Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the Ozone Layer. 2002 Report of the Halons Technical Options Committee (HTOC) : 2002 Assessment
UNEP, 2003This Report reveals efforts of the Halons Technical Options Committee (HTOC) to identify, develop and test alternatives that can used in place of the halons. Under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete The Ozone Layer, the use of halons is being phased out in industries such as: merchant shipping, oil and gas production, and in civil aviation, as well as in the military, for explosion suppression, and in countries with economies in transition. The report reveals the progress that has been made towards the objective of reducing the need for halons, and discusses some of the problems ...

Montreal Protocol on Substances that deplete the Ozone Layer. 2002 Report of the Aerosols, Sterilants, Miscellaneous Uses and Carbon Tetrachloride Technical Options Committee (ATOC) : 2002 Assessment
UNEP, 2003In response to the scientific consensus that chlorofluorocarbons and halons deplete the ozone layer, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) enacted the Montreal Protocol as the principal legal document to authorize the fight to reduce the production of substances that deplete the ozone layer. This document presents an assessment report compiled by the Sterilants, Miscellaneous Uses and Carbon Tetrachloride Technical Options Committee, and reveals the progress made in efforts to phase out the consumption of chlorofluorocarbons commonly used in aerosol sprays. It also puts forward recom ...

Action on ozone
UNEP, 2000It is one of UNEP’s proudest achievements to have led the international effort to protect the Earth’s ozone layer. The Montreal Protocol, which was negotiated under our aegis, has, rightly, been regarded as a model for other international environmental agreements.
