SANTIAGO, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- The first platform dedicated to measuring the ozone layer has been installed in the Chilean Antarctic, to study the impacts of the hole in the ozone layer on climate change in the region, it was announced Wednesday.
Raul Cordero Adidas Ultra Boost Triple White Sale , the project's lead researcher at the University of Santiago, stated in a press release that "the ozone layer is being destroyed by gases produced from September to December each year, favored by the low temperatures in the Antarctic stratosphere in this period."
This pioneering project will therefore track the effects of the "hole in the ozone layer" over ten years and its impact on climate change.
"When temperatures rise at the end of spring, the massive destruction of ozone stops, and ozone from other latitudes help to close the hole Adidas Ultra Boost White Sale ," explained Cordero.
The platform, loaded with atmospheric machinery, has been transported to Bahia Fildes, on the island of Rey Jorge in the South Shetlands, by a Chilean warship.
Scientists at the University of Santiago have been working on building and the placement of the platform. And "it will be operated remotely from the university Adidas Ultra Boost Sale ," Cordero added.
A study in December 2015 found that "the hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctic has reached a record level. It stood at 10 million square kilometers in the last month of the year, more than double the average for this period."
A South African appeals court increased Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius' sentence for murdering his girlfriend to 13 years and five months on Friday, marking a victory for prosecutors in a case that shocked the world.
The Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein more than doubled his original sentence of six years after the state argued that it was unduly lenient.
Pistorius, 31, was not in court for the hearing.
South African court doubles Pistorius sentence to more than 13 years
Prosecutors argued earlier this month that Oscar Pistorius failed to show genuine remorse after killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
"One of the essential ingredients of a balanced sentence is that it must reflect the seriousness of the offence Ultra Boost Grey Sale ," Andrea Johnson, of the National Prosecution Authority, had told the court.
Pistorius' lawyer Barry Roux mounted a strong defence of the judge who handed down the six-year sentence, saying she took into account his claim that he believed he was shooting an intruder.

The Paralympic athlete shot dead Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine's Day in 2013 when he fired four times through the door of his bedroom toilet.
He pleaded not guilty at his trial in 2014 and has always denied that he killed Steenkamp in a rage, saying he mistook her for a burglar.
In 2015 Ultra Boost Triple Black Sale , Pistorius was found guilty of murder and given less than half of the minimum 15 years in jail for that crime.
Pistorius was originally convicted of culpable homicide - the equivalent of manslaughter - but the appeal court upgraded his conviction.
'JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED'
Nazreen Shaik Peremanov, a constitutional law expert at the University of South Africa's law school, told AFP that Pistorius could now appeal the latest sentence at the country's highest court - the Constitutional Court.
"They were forced to impose that sentence, and the court found there were no substantial and compelling circumstances and thus handed down (that) period of imprisonment," said legal analyst Ulrich Roux. "(Recent) sentences have been much more harsh than in the past Ultra Boost Black Sale , in my opinion."
National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Luvuyo Mfaku said he was pleased with the Supreme Court's ruling.
"We always maintained as an institution that this appeal is not about an individual. It has got everything to do with the proper administration of justice," he said.
"We hope the family will find closure knowing that justice has been served and the proper sentence has been handed out."
Oscar's brother Carl Pistorius tweeted that he was "Shattered. Heartbroken. Gutted" following the court's ruling.
"We have all suffered incomprehensible loss. The death of Reeva was and still is a great loss for our family too," he wrot. |
