• With the peak of EESC concentrations reached in the late 1990s, can a recovery in ozone be detected over Antarctica already?
• Are there dynamical changes that affect ozone concentrations?
• If there are dynamical changes, do they also affect Antarctic surface characteristics, like sea ice extend?

1. Vortex breaks up earlier
2. Not as much ozone depletion due to lower concentrations of EESC
3. Vortex gets smaller
4. Change in vortex location

• Change in equivalent latitude of vortex edge with time: For 550 K
( .: area enclosed by same PV contour, placed circular around the pole resulting latitude)
• NCEP/NCAR reanalysis (PV)

Location of vortex changed over time, moving eastward Heterogeneous chemistry still
plays major role for Antarctic ozone concentrations in spring
When looking for ozone recovery, it is important to clearly separate between dynamically and non-dynamically influenced ozone values

Is it possible to find impacts of this strong stratospheric temperature signal in Antarctic surface parameters, e.g. sea ice extent?
What is cause and what is effect?

A connection between Antarctic vortex temperatures and Antarctic sea ice extent might exist
Shift in October vortex position might be reflected in summer/fall sea ice extent, however: • High uncertainties still on signal due
to more influence factors on data • Cause and effect still unclear
