Reductions of Antarctic ozone due to synergistic interactions of chlorine and bromine

TL;DR: The vertical column density of ozone observed in October over Antarctica over Antarctica has fallen precipitously over the past 10 yr as mentioned in this paper and the concentration at Halley Bay (76 deg S, 27 deg W), expressed conventionally in Dobson units (DU), has dropped from about 300 DU in 1975 to less than 200 DU in 1984.

Emissions estimation from satellite retrievals: A review of current capability

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive literature review and comprising input by both satellite experts and emission inventory specialists, the review identifies several targets that seem promising: large point sources of NOx and SO2, species that are difficult to measure by other means (NH3 and CH4, for example), area sources that cannot easily be quantified by traditional bottom-up methods (such as unconventional oil and gas extraction, shipping, biomass burning, and biogenic sources), and the temporal variation of emissions (seasonal, diurnal, episodic).
