What is the long-term trend in mid-latitude ozone column depths? Can it be explained by the observed increase in stratospheric chlorine and bromine?

What will be an ideal response?


In a shift from previously observed behavior, midlatitude ozone depletion seems to have slowed in recent years. This may well be because levels of stratospheric chlorine and bromine have already peaked and are beginning to decline.
