Chapter 2, Problem 45Q
Development of the stratospheric ozone hole has been most dramatic over Antarctica. What set of conditions exist over Antarctica that help to explain why this area is well-suited to studying changes in stratospheric ozone concentration? Are these same conditions not operating in the Arctic? Explain.
