. Profiles from a series of balloon borne ozonesonde ascents are used to chart the development of the Antarctic depletion over Maitri in the austral spring of 1992. The vertical structure of the ozone layer is discussed, including the presence of stratification, which occurs at all stages of development. The main feature of 1992 ozonesonde flights is depletion of 97% in the months of September and October between 15-23 km, which is unique.
