Hemispheric asymmetry in recent stratospheric age of air changes by K. Dubé, S. Tegtmeier, F. Ploeger, K. A. Walker

“…<p>Many stratospheric trace gases, including <span class="inline-formula">O₃</span>, <span class="inline-formula">HCl</span>, and <span class="inline-formula">NO_y</span>, have had opposing trends in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) compared to the Northern Hemisphere (NH) during the last 2 decades. Some of this difference is due to hemispherically asymmetric changes in the rate of transport by the Brewer–Dobson circulation (BDC), and some is due to ozone depletion and recovery. …”
