Why is the Ozone Depletion predominant at the Antarctic?

• The Antarctic stratosphere is much colder. The low temperature enables the formation of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), below 20 km.
• Ozone absorbs sunlight, causing the characteristic increase in temperature with increase in altitude in the stratosphere. If ozone is being depleted, the air becomes cooler, further adding to the favourable conditions for the formation of PSCs and stabilization of the vortex. The vortex is a ring of rapidly circulating air that confines the ozone depletion in the Antarctic region.

The longevity of the Antarctic vortex is another factor, enhancing favourable conditions for the depletion of ozone. The vortex remains, in fact, throughout the polar winter, well into mid-spring whereas the vortex in the Arctic disintegrates by the time the polar spring (MarchApril) arrives.
