(1995). First results from POAM II: The dissipation of the 1993 Antarctic Ozone Hole. Geophysical Research Letters 22: doi: 10.1029/95GL00535. issn: 0094-8276.

POAM II is a space-borne instrument which uses the solar occultation technique to measure the vertical distribution of ozone, aerosols and polar stratospheric clouds, and other properties of the stratosphere and mesosphere. POAM II was launched aboard the SPOT 3 satellite in time to observe the dissipation of the 1993 Antarctic ozone hole. POAM data indicates that the Antarctic ozone hole dissipates from the top downward. It also supports the hypothesis that the Antarctic vortex is an effective containment vessel. However the strength of the containment appears to decrease markedly at altitudes below 18 km.
