Live from IPY! - South Pole Ozone Changes
*****************************************
When: Wednesday, 12 December 2007, 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. PST
Where: Marriott Hotel, Sierra A (5th floor)
PolarTREC teacher Elke Bergholz and a team of atmospheric researchers are at the NOAA Clean Air Facility at the South Pole Station to collect current data on atmospheric ozone to compare with data they collected in 1999. Ms. Bergholz and the team will attempt to measure the positive influences of the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer. The group will be collecting information on atmospheric ozone (surface ozone, total ozone, and ozone profiles), carbon dioxide, and aerosols. Comparisons will be made to atmospheric data in other parts of the world in order to predict the influence that the Kyoto Protocol and other clean air policies might have.
