The amplitude of ozone depletion in the Arctic is monitored every year since 1994 by comparison between total ozone measurements of eight SAOZ/NDACC UV-Vis spectrometers deployed in the Arctic and 3-D Chemical Transport Model (CTM) simulations in which ozone is considered as a passive tracer. The method allows determining the evolution of the daily rate ozone destruction and the amplitude of the cumulative loss at the end of the winter
