The PSC also monitors the performance of the public service organizations that have delegated appointment authorities to assess the general state of the system. The PSC assesses their staffing performance and provides feedback to deputy heads to ensure continuous improvement in the public service appointment system. The PSC uses the Staffing Management Accountability Framework (SMAF) to review and assess staffing performance and to provide feedback to delegated organizations. The SMAF sets out the PSC’s expectations for a well-managed appointment system that respects the Public Service Employment Act. 1, record 2, English, - monitoring%20and%20feedback

Studies of the Antarctic ozone hole have shown that polar stratospheric clouds(PSCs) play an important role in the depletion of ozone. The PSCs contribute to ozone depletion by cycling chlorine from inactive "reservoir" species such as ClONO2 and HCl into reactive chlorine atoms. Although it is known that one type of PSC particle(Type Ia) contains nitric acid and water in a crystalline form, the composition and formation mechanism of these particles is not yet known. We measured the crystallization rates of nitric acid trihydrate(NAT) and nitric acid dihydrate(NAD) to determine the amount of time which would be required for 3 : 1 and 2 : 1 water : nitric acid solutions to freeze to NAT and NAD, respectively, under stratospheric conditions. 3, record 4, English, - nitric%20acid%20trihydrate

... nacreous clouds... form at stratospheric altitudes(15-30 km) in local temperature minima caused by atmospheric "lee" waves. The waves form when strong winds blow from the Atlantic across the Scandinavian mountain chain, towards Kiruna. Nacreous clouds are one type of polar stratospheric cloud(PSC). PSCs are an important factor in the breakdown of stratospheric ozone-ozone destruction through reaction with active chlorine compounds proceeds much faster on the surface of cloud particles than it would if the clouds were not there. 3, record 12, English, - polar%20stratospheric%20cloud

Antarctic ozone hole... The extremely cold temperatures within the polar vortex lead to formation of polar stratospheric clouds(PSCs) over large areas in early winter. These clouds are the key to the severe ozone depletion which has become known as the ozone "hole". PSCs form at the lower, colder altitudes(10-25 kilometres). The clouds are a major factor in causing large total column ozone depletion in the springtime Antarctic stratosphere. 4, record 13, English, - Antarctic%20ozone%20hole
