WMO Admits Ozone Hole ‘Third Largest Ever’

REALLY!

WMO, the UN’s climate and weather organization, reported today a record-size Antarctic Ozone Hole (AOH); however, it said there was no cause for alarm as it should shrink again!

[Be sure to familiarize yourself with the AOH narrative. See links to blog posts on the subject listed below—Ed.]

WMO Antarctic Ozone Bulletin no. 4, 2015

The area of the region where total ozone is less than 220 DU, the so-called “ozone hole area”, averaged over the 30 worst consecutive days has reached 26.9 million square kilometres according to data from NASA. This places 2015 as the third largest ozone hole on record according to this criterion. One has to go back to 2006 and to 2000 to find a larger ozone hole area for this time period. A stable and large vortex, concentric around the south pole and characterised by low temperatures explains why 2015 experiences the largest ozone hole since 2006. […]

The figure shows the partial ozone column between 12 and 20 km altitude above the South Pole station. This is measured with electrochemical ozonesondes launched on balloons from the ground. The small light blue dots show all observations done from 1991 to 2014. The medium blue circles show the measurements from 2006, the year that saw the most severe ozone hole on record. The orange diamonds show data from 2015. Although the 2015 minimum is not as low as in 2006, the 2015 observations still show some of lowest partial columns measured throughout the history of the Antarctic ozone hole. This figure has been provided by Bryan Johnston and Kirk Thoning at the Global Monitoring Division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Source: WMO Antarctic Ozone Bulletin no. 4, 2015.

On 5th August the NAT area reached a maximum for the season with 28.2 million km2, which is higher than the maximum reached in recent years. One has to go back to 2009 to find a higher PSC area maximum (28.4 million km2). Also in September and so far in October, the NAT area has been well above the long-term mean. Since mid October, the NAT area has oscillated around the long term maximum for this time of the year.

Massive Ozone Hole Remains Over Antarctic

The 2011 Antarctic ozone hole peaks at 26.02 million square kilometers

The 2011 ozone hole over the South Pole reached its annual peak on September 12, exposing 26.02 million square kilometers (10.05 million sq miles, or an area roughly three times the size of the United States) of the Southern Hemisphere to harmful ultraviolet radiation.

• Planetary Scale Disasters. The 2011 Antarctic ozone hole peaked at 26.02 million square kilometers on September 12, exposing 26.02 million square kilometers (10.05 million sq miles) of the Southern Hemisphere to harmful ultraviolet radiation, NOAA reported.
• The ozone hole reached its minimum of the season on October 9 when ozone levels dropped to 102 Dobson units.
• The ozone layer which helps protect the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation is depleted by persisting manmade chemicals that reside in the atmosphere and help destroy the ozone.

Disaster Calendar 2011 – October 3

[October 3, 2011]  Mass die-offs resulting from human impact and the planetary response to the anthropogenic assault could occur by early 2016.  SYMBOLIC COUNTDOWN: 1,626 Days Left to the ‘Worst Day’ in Human History

• Planet Earth. In March 2011 FIRE-EARTH said: “Large ozone depletion in the Arctic is currently occurring because of unusually low temperatures, according to extensive measurements carried out throughout the Arctic and Subarctic regions, which are coordinated by Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research.”
• In April 2011 FIRE-EARTH said: “Ozone-depleting chemicals such as the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and extended cold stratospheric temperatures have depleted 40% of the ozone in the stratosphere this week, against a previous high of 30%.”
• Atmospheric researcher Dr. Markus Rex of AWI was quoted as saying that the damage to the Arctic ozone layer is “unparalleled.”
• “Such massive ozone loss has so far never occurred in the northern hemisphere, which is densely populated even at high latitudes,” Rex said.
• A group of researchers at JPL are now saying the risk is growing for  the Arctic hole becoming an annual event and spreading.
• “The chemical ozone destruction over the Arctic in early 2011 was, for the first time in the observational record, comparable to that in the Antarctic ozone hole,” according to a JPL report.
• “More acute Arctic ozone destruction could exacerbate biological risks from increased ultraviolet radiation exposure, especially if the vortex shifted over densely populated mid-latitudes, as it did in April 2011,” they wrote in a report published in the journal Nature.
• The Antarctic ozone hole appearing over the South Pole has been recorded every summer/fall since 1979.

Other Disasters

• Wisconsin , USA. [UPDATE ] The U.S.  Department of Agriculture (USDA) has declared agricultural disasters in 16 northern Wisconsin because of losses caused by winter thaw and late, cold, wet spring conditions that occurred Jan. 1 – June 30, 2011. The extreme weather included more than 10 inches of snowfall in April.
• The counties designated as primary disaster areas are Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, Florence, Forest, Iron, Oneida and Vilas.
• The following counties are contiguous: Burnett, Langlade, Lincoln, Marinette, Oconto, Price, Sawyer and Washburn.
• Michigan. Three counties in Michigan were also listed as contiguous disaster areas: Dickinson, Gogebic and Iron.
  
• Minnesota. Three counties in Minnesota were also listed as contiguous disaster areas: Carlton, Pine and St. Louis.
• Colorado, USA. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has designated a total of eight counties in Colorado as natural disaster areas due to losses caused by drought that began Jan. 1, 2011 and continue.
• The counties listed as primary and contiguous disaster areas are Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson, Park, El Paso, Lincoln and Teller.
• Colorado, USA. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has designated 5 counties in Colorado as a natural disaster area due to losses caused by high winds, hail and a tornado that occurred June 14 – June 19, 2011.
• The counties listed as primary and contiguous disaster areas are Kit Carson, Logan, Phillips, Washington and Yuma.
• Kansas. Cheyenne County in Kansas was also listed as a contiguous disaster area.
• Nebraska. Chase and Dundy counties in Nebraska were also listed as a contiguous disaster areas.
• Delaware, USA. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has designated 3 counties in Delaware as natural disaster areas due to losses caused by drought and excessive heat that began June 1 – Aug. 30, 2011.
• The counties listed as primary and contiguous disaster areas are Kent, New Castle and Sussex.
• Maryland. Five counties in Maryland were also listed as contiguous disaster areas: Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Wicomico and Worcester.
• Thailand. Flooding in Thailand is the worst in at least five decades, officials said. The epic deluge has killed hundreds and inundated tens of thousands of hectares of farmland, affecting more than two million people this year so far.
• Pakistan. Floods have affected up to 10 million People in Pakistan, destroying at least 73 percent of the harvest, and causing large-scale livestock losses.
• ASIA. In Bangladesh, southern China, India, the Philippines, Vietnam ...  strong monsoon rains, which are among highest in the available records since 1929, and multiple storms are leaving behind trails of utter destruction, claiming thousands of lives, humans and animals, toppling millions of homes and destroying tens of millions of acres of fertile farmland. The survivors are often left without food and drinking water, facing exposure and disease. Major diseases, especially water-borne vectors, invariably follow in the heels of human-enhanced climatic disasters.

The Largest Antarctic Ozone Hole

Antarctic Ozone Hole Reaches Record High!

September 12, 2008

The area covered by the Antarctic Ozone Hole grew to 27 million km² on September 12, 2008

A Deserving Dedication

The Moderators would like to dedicate this year’s Antarctic ozone hole to the outgoing [hopefully] US president [sic] Mr GW Bush. Furthermore we invite all parties concerned to consider renaming the Antarctic Ozone Hole after GW Bush for his contribution to the worsening state of the world. During his 8-year occupation of White House, Mr Bush caused more damage to the world (environment, climate, humanity, security … ) than anyone else before him.

[It’s hoped that NASA employees responsible for Ozone Hole Watch retain the integrity of all data, and blow the whistle if they find any anomaly in the data sets, this year.]
