Due to the ban of ozone depleting substances such as CFCs from spray cans, the ozone layer is expected to recover throughout the 21st century. However, changes in the middle-atmosphere circulation may critically interfere with the ozone recovery.

There is a need to better understand the interaction of atmospheric circulation and the recovery of the ozone layer in a changing climate. CAIRT will provide the urgently needed observations on atmospheric circulation together with observations of ozone and key halogen and nitrogen species.
