3 plots are included here: 1) avg_size_o3hole79-95.ps This is a plot of the average ozone hole size for years since 1979. The size is based on the area contained by the 220 DU contour. The 220 DU contour is used since it is in the sharp gradient region of the hole (i.e., values are falling off steeply towards the south pole), and there are no historical measurements below 220 DU prior to 1979. I average these daily size estimates between the dates of 2 and 18 October for each year. The `error bars' are actually the range of values for the data between 2 and 18 October, and the yellow dots are the average values. I have also superimposed the area of the North American and Antarctic continents on the graph to give some size perspective. The data are from the Nimbus-7 TOMS (79-92), Meteor-3 TOMS (93-94), and NOAA SBUV (1995). 2) hbtomsv6_color.ps This plot shows the minumum value of the October averages for the satellite data from 1979 to the present, superimposed on the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Halley Bay monthly mean Dobson spectrophotometer measurements (courtesy of Jonathan Shanklin). The 70-72 data are from the BUV instrument, the 79-92 data are from the Nimbus-7 TOMS, and the 93-94 data are Meteor-3 observations. 3) o3Oct_70717279_92939495sp_nasa.ps This plot shows a series of false color images of total ozone over Antarctica for the years 1970-1971 (BUV), 1979 and 1992 (Nimbus-7), 1993 and 1994 (Meteor-3), and 1995 (NOAA SBUV). All 3 postscript files have been gzip'd, so you'll have to use gunzip before you can view them. Feel free to use these 3 plots. Proper acknowledgement should be given to NASA, NOAA, and the BAS for use of the respective data.
