The Relationship between Polar Vortex and Ozone Depletion in the Antarctic Stratosphere during the Period 1979–2016

<div>Spatial distributions of the 38-year (1979–2016) potential vorticity (units: PVU) climatology on 550 K isentropic surface in (a) May, (b) June, (c) July, (d) August, (e) September, and (f) October. The black solid based on criterion PV contour (−28.8 PVU) represents the vortex edge.</div>
