How will recovery of the ozone layer be detected?

Scientists expect to detect the recovery of the ozone layer with careful comparisons of the latest ozone measurements with past values. Changes in total overhead ozone at various locations and in the extent and severity of the Antarctic “ozone hole” will be important factors in gauging ozone recovery. Natural variations in ozone amounts will limit how soon recovery can be detected with future ozone measurements.
