After much promise and some doubt, it’s confirmed: the hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic is recovering thanks to the ...

Learn about the ozone hole above Antarctica that is now confirmed to be shrinking due to reductions of harmful ...

It’s really, really cold again — as the US shivers through at least the eighth blast of air from the Arctic this winter. Winter, which is warming faster than any other season for much of the ...

and the polar vortex. For the study, the team used simulations of the Earth's atmosphere under different conditions and compared these to observations of how ozone in the Antarctic stratosphere ...

A lobe of the polar vortex, a ring of freezing air typically found near the North Pole, will once again move into the central and eastern states this week, bringing some of the coldest air of the ...

A polar vortex collapse occurs when the strong, cold winds that normally circulate around the Arctic or Antarctic a weaken and break apart, allowing frigid air to spill southward into lower latitudes.

The polar vortex has taken on an unexpected pattern this winter — one that’s made part of the United States the most unusually cold place on the planet, at least so far this year. While the ...

Daniel Orton is an editor on the live news team at Newsweek, based in London, U.K. He was previously a video news editor at the company between 2017 and 2019, before spending several years as a ...

A new study confirms the Antarctic ozone layer is healing as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances.

The term “polar vortex” usually refers to the gigantic circular upper air weather pattern in the Arctic region. It is a normal pattern that is stronger in the winter and keeps some of the ...

Thanks to the global reduction in ozone-depleting substances, some of us may see the Antarctic ozone layer hole disappear in ...

Scientists say it’s being caused by a misbehaving polar vortex combining with a key weather pattern that seems to be stuck in place. Some scientists say these factors and this winter could be ...
