News About The Ozone Layer 16-MAY-08 en-us Boulder CO (SPX) Apr 29, 2008 - A full recovery of the stratospheric ozone hole could modify climate change in the Southern Hemisphere and even amplify Antarctic warming, according to scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA.]]> ]]> Singapore (AFP) April 23, 2008 - Smuggling of ozone-depleting chemicals in the Asia-Pacific region is much worse than expected, a study released at a UN-backed environment conference said Wednesday.]]> Bremerhaven, Germany (SPX) Mar 10, 2008 - Interactions between the stratospheric ozone chemistry and atmospheric air flow lead to significant changes of airflow patterns from the ground up to the stratosphere. This is the result of climate simulations, which have just been published in the journal "Geophysical Research Letters" (Brand et al, Geophys. Res. Lett.).]]> London, Canada (SPX) Nov 09, 2007 - Depending on its altitude, ozone can be either friend or foe. Thanks to new research led by The University of Western Ontario, scientists will now have a better understanding of ozone, its origin and the role - good or bad - it plays in polluting our atmosphere. Ozone is a colourless, toxic gas named for the Greek word for smell because of its pungent odour.]]> ]]> Darmstadt, Germany (SPX) Oct 11, 2007 - Every year in the southern hemisphere spring, a considerable chemical reduction in ozone is observed in the lower and middle stratosphere, which extends from 10 to 15 kilometres high. The term "ozone hole" was coined to describe this phenomenon. Its expansion shows strong annual progression. Its size has varied considerably over the years, but the ozone layer shows no signs of overall recovery. This was the discovery of scientists from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) when they analysed data from the EUMETSAT MetOp Earth monitoring satellite.]]> Paris, France (ESA) Oct 04, 2007 - The ozone hole over Antarctica has shrunk 30 percent as compared to last year's record size. According to measurements made by ESA's Envisat satellite, this year's ozone loss peaked at 27.7 million tonnes, compared to the 2006 record ozone loss of 40 million tonnes.]]> Montreal (AFP) Sept 21, 2007 - Governments meeting in Montreal reached Friday an "historic" agreement to speed up the elimination of ozone-depleting chemicals, a UN spokesman said.]]> ]]> United Nations (AFP) Sept 23, 2007 - World leaders were gathering here Sunday for an unprecedented UN summit aimed at whipping up action against climate change.]]> Montreal (AFP) Sept 19, 2007 - UN talks to hasten a ban on ozone-depleting chemicals were mired in the nitty-gritty Wednesday, as countries tried to fix the economic costs of meeting a new timetable and funding, a UN Environment Program spokesman said.]]> Moscow (UPI) Sep 18, 2007 - Having signed the Montreal Protocol 20 years ago, on Sept. 16, 1987, the world agreed to renounce the industrial use of substances depleting the ozone layer.]]> SOLAR  ENERGY  SOLUTIONS

The United Nations Environment Programme will host the meeting from Sept. 23 to 26 in Athens, Greece. NASA scientists study climate change and research the timing of the recovery of the ozone layer.]]> Geneva (AFP) Sept 12, 2007 - The hole in the protective ozone layer over the Antarctic is forming again but should remain just below the record size it reached last year, a scientist at the UN's weather agency said Wednesday.]]> Advertise in Terra Daily and reach thousands of industry, government and science readers the world over.
