The Antarctic ozone layer is currently healing, as a result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances.

or if the shrinking ozone hole was a result of other "forcings," such as year-to-year weather variability from El Niño, La Niña, and the polar vortex. "While detecting a statistically ...

This is due to the presence of colder temperatures, which facilitate the formation of polar stratospheric clouds. These clouds accelerate chemical reactions that break down ozone molecules.
