I wonder if the amount of

Ozone in the atmosphere could also be used to gauge the pressure of the atmosphere?

Information from the site: http://www.physorg.com/news6574.html

"The seasonal ozone hole over Antarctica has widened to a near-record size, at approximately 27 million square kilometers (10.4 million square miles), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said.


It seems that the ozone hole is still increasing in size, and there is some relationship to the pressure of the atmosphere to the amount of ozone in any specific area.

Information from the site:

"By using NASA's satellite Earth Probe/ TOMS total ozone data, forecasters can identify ozone amounts that are closely related to the formation, intensification, and movement of a hurricane. Zou and Wu also found a strong relationship between ozone, air pressure and spin within the hurricanes. .

(My emphasis)

I'm wondering if the ozone hole over the Antarctica is also pressure sensitive.
If the pressure of the atmosphere decreases at the same time as the depletion of the ozone in the area, does it mean that the barometric pressure at Antarctica has also decreased, and if it has, then what is the cause.

Could it be that my speculation is correct?
Is there a correlation between the amount of radioactivity released into the atmosphere and the size of the ozone hole?
