Description:
Report describes study of correlation between concentrations of nitrous oxide and ozone in atmosphere of Antarctic region during late austral winter. Strong anticorrelation provides signature of air in lower stratosphere; alteration of correlation at specific sites indicate loss of ozone or mixing of perturbed and unperturbed air. Positive correlation interpreted as evidence of chemical depletion of ozone or horizontal mixing of normal air from lower stratosphere with ozone-depleted air from vortex.
