Scientists measure the thickness of the ozone layer using a measurement called Dobson units where anything less than 220 Dobson units (DU) is considered to be an ozone hole.

The FLI award harks back to a crisis that unnerved — and galvanized — humanity in the 1980s and ’90s.The ozone layer reduces how much radiation makes it to the surface of the Earth.

On March 12, the ozone layer also hit a new record thickness of 499 DU. After peaking in March, ozone layer levels remained well above average - breaking records for monthly averages in May, June ...

Though the ozone layer goes through natural fluctuations in distribution and thickness, scientists noted the link between certain human-made chemicals and ozone depletion in the 1970s.

The Earth's ozone layer is on its way to recovering, thanks to decades of work to get rid of ozone-damaging chemicals, a panel of international experts backed by the United Nations has found.

DALLAS — NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) released a statement this week stating the Antarctic Ozone hole is slightly smaller in 2022. Measurements show that the Antarctic ...

The ozone layer sits toward the bottom of the stratosphere, roughly 20 to 40 kilometers (66,000 and 131,000 feet) above the ground. It gets its name from its high concentration of ozone, ...

Thanks to over three decades worth of work by countries around the world in keeping ozone-damaging chemicals out of the atmosphere, Earth’s ozone layer is on track to recover.. According to the ...

In new research, NOAA found that global concentrations of the harmful chemicals that damage the ozone layer have declined just over 50% in the mid-latitude stratosphere, to levels observed in 1980.
