The data also provide evidence consistent with the suggestion that the reservoirs chlorine nitrate and hydrochloric acid are altered by clouds. The gas-state levels of both reservoirs are low at the beginning of the Antarctic spring (when the hole is forming), but then they rise.

Réservoir de chlore et d'oxydes d'azote qui joue un rôle fondamental dans la destruction de l'ozone stratosphérique.

OBS

Le chlore et les oxydes d'azote qui détruisent l'ozone sont piégés dans le nitrate de chlore, un élément important des nuages glacés polaires; au printemps austral (octobre), tous ces produits sont cependant subitement libérés, phénomène, croit-on, qui serait à l'origine du trou d'ozone.
