Here we show the temporal development of Arctic ozone depletion averaged
|
|
j@1040
|

over the polar vortex on the basis of simulations of

`Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS)`_ for different

years.

The upper panel shows the temporal development of simulated ozone depletion

as a function of height and the lower panel shows the column ozone loss between 12 and
|
|
j@1040
|
11 |
22 km in Dobson units (DU). For comparison, the maximum ozone losses for
|
|
j@1040
|
12 |
the other years are shown as colored arrows on the right side of the figure.

The CLaMS simulation ends with the collapse of the polar vortex,
|
|

|

after the air is mixed with ozone-rich air from lower latitudes.
