McPeters, R., M. Prather, and S. Doiron, 1991: Reply to comments by Aftergood. J. Geophys. Res., 96, no. D9, 17379-17381, doi:10.1029/91JD01926.

Aftergood argues that in addition to the global scale long-term perturbations studied by Prather et al. [1990], there is at least some evidence that the exhaust of a solid rocket can cause immediate large reductions in ozone, resulting in the formation of a local hole in the ozone layer. If this proposed rapid loss mechanism is having an impact on ozone large enough to be of real concern in terms of enhanced ultraviolet sunlight at the ground, it should be visible in the ozone image data from the total ozone mapping spectrometer (TOMS) on Nimbus 7. We have examined the ozone data record for evidence of rapid local decreases in ozone following a shuttle launch.
