2024 Ozone Hole Update

This year, the ozone hole over Antarctica reached its annual maximum extent on September 28th, 2024, with an area of 8.5 million square miles (22.4 square million kilometers).

How NASA and Partners Look at Air Quality Around the Globe

Together with South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, NASA scientists took to the field for the Asia Air Quality campaign to better understand local air quality issues underneath the GEMS satellite— a sister satellite to North America’s TEMPO.

How NASA Sees the Air We Breathe

NASA and NOAA, among other agencies, worked together this summer through the STAQS and AEROMMA missions to calibrate and validate NASA’s new TEMPO satellite. The satellite and missions combined aim to not only better measure air quality, and the major pollutants that impact it, but also to improve air quality, from street to stratosphere.

Ozone 101: What is the Ozone Hole?

Let’s back up to the basics and understand what caused the Ozone Hole, its effects on the planet, and what scientists predict will happen in future decades.
