Description
In this talk, I will provide a personal perspective on current challenges in the field of stratospheric ozone science and observing. The talk will include a discussion of how long-term datasets inspired novel worldwide research that inspired public policy and led to new directions in understanding heterogeneous chemistry and atmospheric composition. I summarize my view of current challenges inspired by both expected and unexpected events, including evaluation of the emergence of ozone recovery (or not), wildfire smoke, and the eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano, and I will relate these to the atmospheric observing system.
