WASHINGTON -- The ozone hole over Antar nike air max ctica shrank to its smallest peak since 1988, NASA said Thursday. The huge hole in Earth s protective ozone layer reached its maximum this year in September, and this year NASA said it was 7.6 million square miles wide. The hole size shrinks after mid-September. In the past, we ve always seen ozone at some stratospheric altitudes go to zero by the end of September, said Bryan Johnson, NOAA atmospheric chemist. This year our balloon measurements showed the ozone loss rate stalled by the middle of September and ozone levels never reached zero. This year s maximum hole is more than twice as big as the United States, but it s 1.3 million square miles less than last year and 3.3 million square miles smaller than 2015. Paul Newman, chief Earth scientist at NASA s Goddard Space Flight Center, said stormy conditions in the upper atmosphere warmed the air and kept chemicals chlorine and bromine from eating ozone.
