The world has some good news to look forward to amid the novel coronavirus outbreak: a hole in the ozone layer is in recovery.
According to New Scientist, a hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica has continued to recover, leading to changes in atmospheric circulation.
The ongoing recovery has, according to ScienceAlert, stopped many dangerous changes in the Southern Hemisphere’s atmosphere.
In the late 1980s, ozone depletion was driving southern air currents further south, causing a change in rainfall patterns and ocean currents, the publication reports.
