Abstract
We review the 2015 and 2016 Antarctic ozone holes, making use of a variety of
ground-based and space-based measurements of ozone and ultra-violet radiation,
supplemented by meteorological reanalyses. The ozone hole of 2015 was one of
the most severe on record with respect to maximum area and integrated deficit
and was notably long-lasting, with many values above previous extremes in October,
November and December. In contrast, all assessed metrics for the 2016
ozone hole were at or below their median values for the 37 ozone holes since 1979
for which adequate satellite observations exist. The 2015 ozone hole was influenced
both by very cold conditions and enhanced ozone depletion caused by stratospheric
aerosol resulting from the April 2015 volcanic eruption of Calbuco
(Chile).
