ozone loss through winds and temperature, and volcanic eruptions, which deplete
ozone by pumping sulfate particles into the upper atmosphere.

According to a study published in the March 2002 Journal of Geographical Research
by a joint research team from the University of Maryland and NASA, overall, the increased amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is speeding up the

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the

ozone layer on the path to
recovery by 2065, calls for a repeat.
The trend was interrupted following international agreements (Montreal Protocol and its Amendments signed 30 years ago in 1987) on the reduction of
ozone - depleting substances, and the first signs of
ozone recovery were seen
by satellites.
During the period of summer
ozone recovery (2000 — 2050), the SAM index exhibits weakly negative, statistically insignificant trends due to stratospheric
ozone recovery which offsets the positive forcing imposed
by increasing GHG concentrations.
But on current emission trends, that could delay the
ozone hole's
recovery by 30 years, until at least 2095, he suggested.
The long time scale for this
recovery arises because
ozone depleting gases such as chlorofluorocarbons are only removed from the atmosphere
by natural processes at very slow rates.

ozone recovery — a factor largely ignored
by IPCC models — the tropospheric winds in the Southern Hemisphere may actually decelerate in the high latitudes and move toward the equator, potentially reversing the direction of climate change in that hemisphere.
