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.
