Complete transcript available.

NASA computer models help scientists identify an uptick in emissions of CFC-11, an ozone-depleting gas, in the atmosphere. NASA and NOAA work together, as part of a long-running research partnership, monitoring efforts on stratospheric ozone. This research continues their partnership, joining scientists from MIT and the University of Bristol.
