The depth of the Antarctic ozone hole at 12:00 GMT of each day from GOME (1996-2002) and SCIAMACHY (2003-2006) Assimilated Ozone Fields. The depth of the ozone hole is the lowest ozone column value in Dobson Units (DU) for latitudes below 30° South. DU stands for the total thickness of ozone in a given vertical column if it were concentrated into a single slab at standard temperature and atmospheric pressure – 400 DUs is equivalent to a thickness of four millimetres, for example.
