Important issues in the assessment
ozone recovery expected from leveling off of stratospheric chlorine (Montreal Protocol and ammendments), but role of stratospheric bromine/shortlived substances may become more important
How does climate change affect the ozone layer (Antarctic ozone hole anomaly in 2002? changes in atmpospheric transport and chemistry?)
Preface WMO O3 Assessment 2006:
Important issues in the assessment

„specific aspects of the Antarctic ozone hole ...(ozone hole anomaly) in 2002“
Chapter 4: Polar Ozone: Past and present
„trends in the concentration of ozone depleting substances“ Chapter 1: Long-lived Substances Chapter 2: Halogenated Very Short-Lived
Substances
„climate change on ozone layer recovery“ Chapter 5: Ozone-Climate Interaction
Preface WMO O3 Assessment 2006:
Sections in the WMO ozone assessment 2006:

II Ozone changes
III Future expectations for ozone, ozone depletion substances, and UV
„stratospheric bromine ... its impact on the ozone layer“ Chapter 2: Halogenated Very Short-Lived
Substances Chapter 4: Polar Ozone: Past and present Chapter 6: The Ozone Layer in the 21st
Century
„future projections and scenarios“ Chapter 6: The Ozone Layer in the 21st
Century Chapter 7: Surface UV radiation: Past,
Present, and Future Chapter 8: Halocarbon Scenarios, Ozone
