Many of the graphics we looked at in lecture are HERE.

First, HERE is a link to an animation of ozone depletion in the Antarctic from August 1997 - November 1997. I constructed it from a time series of images collected in Fall 1997 from NOAA's CMDL (link below). On this page you will also find a link to an animation of satellite images covering the same period.

Second, HERE you will find a diagram depicting changes in ozone concentration with height, for each month of 1997. Also on this page is a similar diagram from 1987 -- contrast the strength of the "hole" in each year.
