AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on research into the 2002 Antarctic ozone hole, particularly the unusual stratospheric winds that altered the typical circulation patterns around the continent. The original poster seeks information on the origins of these winds and has found limited resources. They mention a few open-access papers related to the 2002 ozone hole, including studies from NOAA, NIWA, and CSIRO, which may provide insights into the atmospheric conditions during that season. Despite these resources, the poster expresses a need for more specific information about the wind origins, as their professor's guidelines restrict them to certain texts. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding detailed data on this specific atmospheric phenomenon.

Hello everybody.

I am currently doing some research about the evolution of ozone holes over antartica.

I am interested in 2002's season, since strong winds from the stratosphere managed to alter the wind's clockwise circulation about the continent making it one of the weirdest recorded.

So far I have found nothing about the origin of these winds.

Can someone please tell me where can I find some information about them?

Thank you very much for reading.

This is the only paper I have on this computer. It is open-access

There are probably more

Thank you very much. I think I will be able to write more thanks to this.

On the internet; I am not suposed to use more than the text given by mi professor, it's title is twenty questions and anwsers about the ozone layer: 2010 update. The authors are David Fahey and Michaela Hegglin.

I want to add more information to my report; the best I have found so far is this:

But it hasn't any information abou the origin of the winds.
 
Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord.
