The Erythemal Index is a measure of ultraviolet radiation (UV) at ground level on the Earth. UV exists to the left of the visible spectrum and is divided into three components (UV-A, UV-B and UV-C). UV-B (290-320 wavelengths) is the most dangerous form of UV radiation that can reach ground level. Atmospheric ozone shields life at the surface from most of the harmful components of solar radiation. Chemical processes in the atmosphere can effect the level of protection provided by the ozone in...

The 2003 Antarctic ozone hole was the second largest ever observed, according to scientists from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The Antarctic ozone 'hole' is defined as thinning of the ozone layer over the continent to levels significantly below pre-1979 levels. Ozone blocks harmful ultraviolet 'B' rays. Loss of stratospheric ozone has been linked to skin cancer in humans and other adverse biological effects on plants...

The fires that raged across southern Africa in August and September of 2000 produced a thick 'river of smoke' that observers compared with the aftermath of the Kuwaiti oil fires in 1991. NASA-supported studies currently underway on the event will contribute to improved air pollution policies in the region and a better understanding of its impact on climate change.

A relatively warm Antarctic winter in 2004 kept the thinning of the protective ozone layer over Antarctica, known as the ozone 'hole,' slightly smaller than in 2003. Each year the 'hole' expands over Antarctica, sometimes reaching populated areas of South America and exposing them to ultraviolet rays normally absorbed by ozone. Scientists have new tools to study this annual phenomenon, and the human-produced compounds that contribute to ozone breakdown are decreasing. On September 22, 2004,...

Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have confirmed the ozone hole over the Antarctic this September is not only much smaller than it was in 2000 and 2001, but has split into two separate "holes" Note: An animation of the stratospheric ozone hole over Antarctica, as measured by Earth Probe TOMS from August 15, 2002, to September 29, 2002. Red and yellow denote regions of high ozone and dark blue denotes regions of low ozone. Data...

This animation shows the total ozone as measured by Earth Probe TOMS since the earliest measurements by that instrument. Days for which the instrument collected little or no data are skipped. Note: Ozone in the northern and southern hemispheres as measured by Earth Probe TOMS from 7-26-1996 to 11-4-2001. Animator: Horace Mitchell (NASA/GSFC). Scientist: Richard McPeters (NASA/GSFC), Mark Schoeberl (NASA/GSFC). Platforms/Sensors/Data Sets: Earth Probe/TOMS.

SeaWiFS captured this data of Hurricane Frances on 1 September 2004. This 'beauty shot' was created to accompany live TV interviews about hurricanes. Note: Pan down the Eastern US coast and rotate to frame up Hurricane Frances. Animator: Greg Shirah (NASA/GSFC). Scientist: Gene Feldman (NASA/GSFC). Platforms/Sensors/Data Sets: SeaStar/SeaWiFS.

This is one of a series of animations that were produced to be part of the narrated video shown in the HoloGlobe exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and the Earth Today exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. This particular animation was not used in the final video. Note: Outgoing longwave radiation for 1998 on a rotating globe, as measured by ERBE. Data Collected: 1988/01/01-1988/12/31. Animator: Jim Strong (NASA/GSFC). Scientist: Tom Watters (Smithsonian/Air and...

Polar stratospheric clouds form at extremely low temperatures in the upper atmosphere. Should the temperature rise, clouds won't form. In this visualization, sequential temperature readings taken in the research area for SOLVE (Stratospheric Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment) are plotted against a threshold temperature for PSC formation. These are clouds essentially made of nitric acid. Note how the area covered by the clouds increases as winter progresses. The red point on the map indicates...
