Global ozone layer depletion leveling off – rising slightly

From the European Space Agency. By merging more than a decade of atmospheric data from European satellites, scientists have compiled a homogeneous long-term ozone record that allows them to monitor total ozone trends on a global scale – and the findings look promising.

Monthly mean total ozone averaged over 60°N to 60°S from the merged GOME, SCIAMACHY and GOME-2 datasets (solid lines). The original datasets (dashed lines) before the adjustment are plotted forSource: Watts Up With That? RSS Feed
