Stratospheric ozone chemistry in the Antarctic: what determines the lowest ozone values reached and their recovery?

Balloon-borne observations of ozone from the South Pole Station have been reported to reach ozone mixing ratios below the detection limit of about 10 ppbv at the 70 hPa level by late September. After reaching a minimum, ozone mixing ratios increase to above 1 ppmv on the 70 hPa level by late Decembe...
