Abstract: The article presents a study on the intercomparison of ozone profiles in Antarctica to quantify ozone depletion or recovery. The study employed Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) instrument, global positioning system (GPS) receiver, MetOp satellite collected at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, during the Concordiasi campaign. Results reveal that overestimation of ozone cannot be explained by the IASI to measure the high gradient because of zone depletion process.

Subjects :: *DEPLETION of atmospheric ozone
