Super-cold temperatures that may be a further indicator of global warming have helped produce an Antarctic ozone hole this year that rivals the largest, reported The Age (27/9/2006, p.7).
Ozone hole expands as temps hit 93 below zero: Temperatures fell to minus 93 degrees in the upper atmosphere over the frozen continent in August, and the man-made hole expanded this week to nearly 28 million square kilometres.
South Pole’s coldest air in 30yrs: The coldest air in 30 years of measurements was part of yearly weather variation over the South Pole that could also be linked to climate change, the CSIRO’s Paul Fraser said on 26 August.
How global warming causes cooling: "Under climate change scenarios, there is global warming at the surface and increased cooling in the upper atmosphere," said Dr Fraser, the leader of the CSIRO’s changing atmosphere research group.
