06 Where can I find pictures of the ozone hole on the net?
The best-known images are those from the TOMS instrument on the Nimbus-7
satellite. These are available at http://jwocky.gsfc.nasa.gov/multi/multi.html
Gifs, sound files, and a short movie (mpeg or quicktime) are included.
Some other Web sites that carry ozone hole images include the International
Centre for Antarctic Information and Research (ICAIR) in New Zealand:
http://icair.iac.org.nz/ozone/index.html
the JPL images archive:
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/archive/images.html
(Look for the file ozone93b.gif. If you do not have web access you can get it
by anonymous ftp to ftp.jpl.nasa.gov in the directory pub/images/browse.)
and a gopher menu at the University of Michigan:
gopher://blueskies.sprl.umich.edu/11/
The vertical distribution of ozone in the hole is shown dramatically in
a series of images archived at:
http://www.awi-bremerhaven.de/MET/Neumayer/ozone.html
Some plots showing how the size and depth of the ozone hole has changed from
year to year can be found at the EASOE home page:
http://www.atm.ch.cam.ac.uk/images/easoe/
The Antarctic Ozone Hole was discovered by the British Antarctic Survey,
and more information can be found on their web page:
http://www.nbs.ac.uk/public/icd/ozone_pub/index.html
A movie illustrating the dynamics of the antarctic vortex can be found at
http://daac.gsfc.nasa.gov/CAMPAIGN_DOCS/UARS_project.html
Lenticular Press publishes a multimedia CD-ROM (for Apple Macintosh)
containing ozone data and images, as well as a hypertext document similar
to this FAQ. For sample images and information about ordering the CD,
see http://www.lenticular.com/ Note that these samples are copyrighted
