Ozone levels in the upper and lower atmosphere were responsible for almost a third of the warming in ocean waters bordering Antarctica in the second half of the 20th century. The increased ozone in the lower atmosphere caused 60% of the overall ozone-induced warming seen in the Southern Ocean over that period–far more than previously thought. One of the main components of health damaging smog, ozone may also play a significant role in driving climate change in the future.
