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.
 
These last days, there is a seemingly endless cluster of rather powerful earthquakes close to the islands of Santorini, Amorgos, Anafi, and Ios. Remember, this is a highly volcanically active region, Santorini especially being famous for the supervolcanic eruption which is conjectured to have led to the decline of the Minoan civilization: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_eruption To grasp the scale of what is happening, between the 26th of January and the 9th of February, 12000...
