The most important attribute of changes
in the Ozone column are the second order effects such as CH4 reduction.
Not exact matches
Over the last 50 years satellite and ground - based records over Antarctica show
ozone column amounts ranging from 100 to 400 Dobson units, which translates to about 1 millimeter (1/25 inch) to 5 millimeters (1/6 inch) of
ozone in a layer if all of the
ozone were brought down to the surface.
The figure for the
column between 12 and 20 kilometres altitude was a record low of 18 Dobson units, representing a loss of 83 per cent of the
ozone in that layer.
Partial
column ozone amounts
in this layer declined from an average of 125 Dobson Units
in July / August 2006 to 1.5 DU on October 6..
E.g.
in 1999/2000 about 30 % of the total
column ozone was destroyed by anthropogenic chemical loss, which is considerably less than the maximum loss at 19 - 20 km altitude.
Also, the overall number of
ozone molecules destroyed
in a vertical
column of air was pretty much the same as the number of molecules transported into this
column by the average poleward and downward transport of air
in the stratosphere.
In an opinion column in the New York Times of March 27, 1990, Michael Oppenheimer (CFR) warned darkly: «Global warming, ozone depletion, deforestation and overpopulation are the four horsemen of a looming 21st century apocalypse.&raqu

ozone depletion, deforestation and overpopulation are the four horsemen of a looming 21st century apocalypse.»
The percentage of the total overhead
ozone column destroyed is shown
in Figure 2 for the years
in our experiment with strongest and weakest wave energies.
In the worst years, two - thirds of the Arctic ozone column (the total amount of ozone between the ground and the top of the atmosphere) is destroyed in the most severely depleted region
In the worst years, two - thirds of the Arctic

Figure 2: Total
column ozone loss relative to pre-
ozone hole conditions
in the 1970s
in percent (left) and total number of molecules (right)(1 DU = 2.69 molecules / cm2) averaged over 2010 - 2019, during September for the Southern Hemisphere and March for the Northern Hemisphere.
In turn, these optical depths may be used to derive information about the
column abundances of
ozone and water vapor, as well as aerosol and other atmospheric constituents.

Using the methodology described
in great detail
in that publication, 32 Brewer and 47 Dobson stations were considered as potentials for the comparisons with GOME, Sciamachy and GOME - 2 total
ozone column data.
There is some consensus now that total
column ozone varies significantly with the solar cycle, especially
in the tropics.
The data basis of observations are total
ozone columns measurements from three satellite borne instruments: the European satellite sensors GOME (ERS - 2), SCIAMACHY (ENVISAT), and GOME - 2 (METOP - A) are combined and added up to a continuous time series starting
in June 1995.
Ozone absorbs energy
in UV frequencies and warms changing the density of the air
column and sea level pressure beneath the
column.
-- Changes (order of a few percent)
in globally averaged
column ozone forced by the solar ultraviolet irradiance 11 - year cycle are now better understood, but
ozone profile changes are less certain.
«If you look at the total atmospheric
column, from your head on up to the top of the atmosphere, this solar proton event depleted less than one percent of the total
ozone in the Northern Hemisphere,» Jackman said.
In terms of the springtime Antarctic total
column ozone losses (
ozone hole), the system has not recovered, but the rapid expansion of the pre-Montreal Protocol period has been reversed to modest declines.
It's measured
in terms of the total
ozone throughout a
column of the atmosphere spanning from Earth's surface up to satellite height.
Some participants noted that even though a descoped OMPS on NPOESS will continue total -
column ozone measurements, the OMPS - Nadir sensor lacks the state - of - the - art capability for measuring other trace species and for high spatial resolution, both of which are essential for advancing atmospheric research
in the future.
This mission is accomplished through long - term observations and intensive field programs that measure total
column ozone,
ozone vertical profiles (ozonesondes and umkehrs), ground level
ozone, and water vapor vertical profiles
in the upper troposphere and stratosphere.
