UVI & partial ozone loss column changes ► Regions R1 & R6, the most affected by vortex occurrences & polar ozone loss Maximum UV increase are observed in region R1 due to low cloud clover conditions If changes in cloud clover, R6 is the most sensitive region ► ► October (no cloud discrimination) Regions of potential UV enhancements linked to vortex occurrences in a cloudiness diminution scenario Vortex occurrences TOC changes October (quasi-clear sky) Vortex occurrences TOC changes UVI changes [40°S-60°S] latitude band

Perspectives • Monitoring of atmospheric composition at Rio Gallegos (ozone, aerosol, UV, temperature) • Very few measurement stations in the SH for long term trend studies and cross-validation of satellite time series • Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Changes (NDACC) southern mid-latitudes stations: Lauder (NZ) and Rio Gallegos (Argentina) • More instruments are being implemented (microwave radiometer, U. Nagoya) • Study of the recovery of the Antarctic ozone hole in relation with climate change
