What is ozone thinning?

This is a thinning (by about 2/3, of the ozone over the Antarctic during the spring time, towards the end of the long winter night in the south pole. There is no actual hole in the layer. This has occurred for centuries, in fact the thinnest we know the layer has ever been is in 1858, before man started using cfc's. A similar thinning occurs, to a much smaller extent in the Arctic during the end of it's winter night also. The thinning is much smaller in the Arctic and NASA even reffers to this thin area as the "Dimple" due to the small size.


What is the relationship between ozone layer and electricity?

There is no direct or indirect connection between the two. The depletion of the ozone layer occurs over the Antarctic during the end of its winter period due to a lack of sunlight producing O3. When the sun returns the layer is restored. A similar, but much smaller "dimple" (as NASA refers to it) occurs in the Arctic during its winter. The generation of electric power is being blamed by some groups for as much as 0.18% of the current emissions of greenhouse gases.


Which gases are green house effect and how are they responsible in ozone layer depletion?

Only the enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming.A:No, they are completely separate issues. The above answer also has not factual. Global warming allows life to exist on this planet. Without the ability of three atom gases to trap heat, the planet would be cold and dead. ALL greenhouse effect traps heat, mostly with water vapor (75 to 80%), Carbon Dioxide (20%) and other any three atom gases (1 to 5%). Without this process we would be a cold dead planet. This is not exclusive to the theory of enhanced greenhouse effect.The "hole" in the ozone layer is a well know effect from the long polar winters in the Southern Hemisphere and the reaction to the water vapor in the area. This issue became most apparent in 1858 (the largest known thinning year) due to naturally occurring solar flare issues. The sun creates ozone in the upper atmosphere by reacting with oxygen. Without the sun, we see a naturally occurring reduction in O3 production, thus the depletion. Winter months in the Antarctic reduce O3 by as much as 75% (3mm total to 1 mm total)The Arctic has a similar issue during the end of it's winter, but on a very small scale. NASA refers to the small thinning area in the Arctic as the "dimple" due to the small size.It is believed, by some groups, that man may be adding to both of these naturally occurring issues. The case is currently being made by NASA (a pro greenhouse group) that the ozone issue in the Antarctic is the cause of the increasing ice levels in the area as ozone is a greenhouse gas and the naturally occurring depletion is the cause of this increase.


How is the ozone layer not related to climate change?

The two issues are related. Ozone is a green house gas. If the ozone layer were to increase, so would temperatures of that area. The ozone layer thins at both poles during the end of their winter months. NASA has stated that one of the reasons that the Antarctic has not seen a warming trend is due to this thinning issue.


What does ozone watch mean?

An ozone watch is issued when ozone levels in the air are forecasted to reach unhealthy levels. This is typically due to high levels of pollution in the atmosphere, which can lead to respiratory issues and other health concerns for vulnerable populations. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities and reduce emissions during an ozone watch.

What is the name of the satellite that monitors the ozone layer?

There are various satellites which monitor the ozone layer. Most of these are sent by NASA.


Can NASA's secret code be given to anyone?

No, any codes that are NASA's are private. They cannot be given out to anyone who does not work for NASA and have the correct clearance. === ===


Is nasa involved with studying the hole in the ozone layer?

Yes. See the question below.


Is nasa sending satellites to space to cool the ozone layer down?

No. The ozone layer would be more easily destroyed than cooled by anything lofted there.

What has NASA given us?

NASA has given us advancements in space exploration technology, such as the Apollo missions to the moon, the Mars rover missions, and the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA has also contributed to our understanding of Earth through satellites that monitor the environment and climate. Additionally, NASA's research has led to innovations in everyday products, like memory foam and improved solar panels.

What requirements do you need to find a job at NASA?

Most jobs at NASA require some formal education. NASA encourages their employees to have a background in science as well as math. Many of the careers at NASA are science related.
