A flight detour next month offers researchers a timely opportunity to survey the Antarctic ozone hole as part of our Atmospheric Tomography mission.

The team will measure the ozone-depleting substances as part of an airborne field campaign to study atmospheric gases and pollution Worldwide. Learn more: http://go.nasa.gov/2yekv5E
