Since 1997, researchers have been observing very large ozone losses in the Arctic stratosphere. Although considered only a "low ozone event," it has been evident that these losses will continue to increase in the coming years. The purpose of this website is to show why these events have transpired, and what may come in the future, based on models. Use the following links to learn more about this phenomenon.
