Some experts predicted that the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere due to the exhausts from the SST would produce about 10,000 additional cases of skin cancer in the world.

This is what's known about the dynamics of the stratosphere: Increasing clouds of low - lying ozone, made from the reaction between sunlight and pollution, are showing up in the western U.S. that have little or no industrial activity.

As I noted in the introduction to this post, the SAM trend is partly explained by ozone depletion in the stratosphere, and the most clearly anomalous melt in the James Ross Island core occurs after the late 1970s, about the time the ozone hole appeared.

Ozone forms in the stratosphere, between about 10 and 50 km above the Earth and above the troposphere where terrestrial species live.

Icelandic volcanoes are about 30 degrees away from the pole, too far except for the strongest eruptions, to be swept - up (in suficient enough concentration) into the stratosphere by polar vortex, hence the ozone layer there is more stable, despite fact there was more CFC around in the Nth than Sth hemisphere.

What Hood's presentation is about is ozone in the stratosphere.

CFCs are incredibly stable molecules that must travel high into the stratosphere before breaking down, so though the phasing out of CFCs is working, the impact of the Montreal Protocol won't be noticeable in the ozone layer until about 2025, Kramarova said.

The Earth's ozone layer is located in the lower stratosphere, which lies just above the troposphere (which begins at the planet's surface and reaches up to about 12 km), catching harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.

About 90 % of the ozone in Earth's atmosphere is contained in the stratosphere.

The story revolves around a paper that Paul Crutzen (Nobel Prize winner for chemistry related to the CFC / ozone depletion link) has written about deliberately adding sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere to increase the albedo and cool the planet — analogous to the natural effects of volcanoes.

About 90 % of the ozone in the Earth's atmosphere is found in the region called the stratosphere.
