File:Min ozone.jpg

This image shows the lowest value of ozone measured by TOMS each year in the ozone hole.

Global average ozone is about 300 Dobson units. Before 1980 ozone less than 200 Dobson units was rarely seen. In recent years ozone near 100 Dobson units has become normal in the ozone hole. Ozone in the year 2002 ozone hole was higher than we have come to expect because of unusually high temperatures in the Antarctic stratosphere.

SOS Children's Villages chose the best bits of Wikipedia to help you learn. SOS Children believes education is an important part of a child's life. That's why we ensure they receive nursery care as well as high-quality primary and secondary education. When they leave school, we support the children in our care as they progress to vocational training or higher education. There are many ways to help with SOS Children.
