he said, but it does not necessarily confirm the worst ozone warnings of the last decade.“You could say, ‘Aha! We’ve found the great smoking gun, - Mahlman said. “But the chemistry does not really match up. So far, there’s a lot of wishful hand waving.“‘He has bet a Chinese lunch that ozone levels will rise again this year.

“On the other hand, Elroy of Harvard favors a chemical explanation and he put one forward last month in the British journal nature. The manmade gasses that break down ozone include, most prominently, chlorine, formerly released by spray cans and now by a host of industrial processes. McElroys theory relies on another element as well: bromine, a much rarer gas used in specialized fire-extinguishing equipment. “In the sequence of chemical reactions he proposes, little bromine produces large ozone depletion. If this theory is correct, policy-makers might find that strictly controlling bromine would be more effective than controlling chlorine.

“All of the theories make specific predictions about the polar atmosphere that should be testable - hence the Antarctic expedition, announced by the National Science Foundation.

“You know how much excitement this is causing in scientific circles and industry and government,” said Cicerone of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “But so far, the only people who are sure of themselves are not convincing their colleagues. most of these theories will bite the dust.”

“Thirteen researchers will join the 130 people spending the winter at the McMurdo base. They will launch a series of 33 balloons with high-atmosphere measuring instruments. And they will use an assortment of advanced ground instruments, including various spectrometers, caw able of detecting the minute quantities of various chemical byproducts whose existence is predicted by the various theories. The spectra meters measuer the scattered wavelengths of sunlight and moonlight, in effect, letting the sun and moon) interrogate the atmosphere.

“The scientists come from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, the University of Wyoming, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations’s Aeronarw Laboratory in Boulder, Cob.

“This is one of the most challenging things we1ve ever come across in atmospheric chemistry.” said Susan Soloman of the Aeronomy Laboratory, tean leader of the expedition. “whatever the source is, we need to understand it
