The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) said its measurements backed up NASA satellite data showing the hole peaked at about 9 million sq miles compared with 11 million sq miles in 2003.

NIWA scientist Stephen Wood cautions against reading too much into the hole's smaller size, which he says is also influenced by natural variations. In 2002, the ozone hole suddenly shrank, raising hopes it had turned the corner and was starting to close. However, some scientists later put it down to an abnormality caused by atmospheric conditions. 041004 what's it to you? who go blather from
