From Cambridge University, England's Web site about the history of the discovery of the ozone hole:
"Dramatic loss of ozone in the lower stratosphere over Antarctica was first noticed in the 1970s by a research group from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) who were monitoring the atmosphere above Antarctica ...
"Folklore has it that when the first measurements were taken in 1985, the drop in ozone levels in the stratosphere was so dramatic that at first the scientists thought their instruments were faulty. Replacement instruments were built and flown out, and it wasn't until they confirmed the earlier measurements, several months later, that the ozone depletion observed was accepted as genuine."

Hole in the ozone layer is found?
The hole in ozone is found at the poles. Antarctica has the biggest hole.
Why does the ozone layer dissolve above antarctica?
The ozone layer dissolves above Antarctica. It is because of cold temperature there.
What is the layer of the atmosphere in which the ozone absorbs ultraviolet solar radiation?
The ozone is found in the ozone layer, but the ozone layer is found in the stratosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere is the ozone hole phenomenon found?
The ozone hole is found in the same layer as ozone layer. It is found in stratosphere.
What chemical caused damage to the ozone layer over Antarctica?
The chemical that cause ozone hole over antarctica is CFC. Chlorofluorocarbons are the ones that contain chlorine which deplete ozone layer.
Scientist have found a hole in the ozone layer over this country?
The country is Antarctica. They have also found over New Zealand.
What is the layer of gas found above Antarctica?
The layer of gas found above Antarctic is ozone. It was found to be depleted.
Hole in the ozone layer is found?
The hole in ozone is found at the poles. Antarctica has the biggest hole.
Why is a thin ozone layer over Antarctica of particular concerns to scientist?
Scientists working and living temporarily in Antarctica study the health of planet earth. The ozone layer protects the earth from damaging rays of the sun. The depletion of that layer can affect the health of planet earth.
What does the ozone layer have to do with antarctica?
Ozone is depleted at Antarctica. It is because of low temperatures.
Why does the ozone layer dissolve above antarctica?
The ozone layer dissolves above Antarctica. It is because of cold temperature there.
What make scientist think that the ozone layer is disappearing?
Scientists believe that the ozone layer is disappearing because there is a large hole in it. This hole was not there years ago.
Where in the world is a large hole in the ozone layer?
The ozone hole is found in the antarctica region. It is because the temperatures required for ozone depletion are very low.
Is the ozone layer destroying Antarctica?
No
Why is the ozone layer depleted in Antarctica?
The ozone depletion requires low temperatures. It is because ozone is depleted in Antarctica.
What atmosphere layer is the ozone layer found?
Ozone is found in the stratospheric region of atmosphere. It is found in the form of ozone layer.
Why does ozone layer deplete over Antarctica?
Ozone deplete over antarctica. It is because of low temperatures.
