The Southern Hemisphere (SH) zonal-mean circulation change in response to Antarctic ozone
depletion is re-visited by examining a set of the latest model simulations archived for the
Chemistry-Climate Model Initiative (CCMI) project. All models reasonably well reproduce Antarctic
ozone depletion in the late 20th century. The related SH-summer circulation changes, such as a
poleward intensification of westerly jet and a poleward expansion of the Hadley cell, are also well
captured. All experiments exhibit quantitatively the same multi-model mean trend, irrespective of
whether the ocean is coupled or prescribed. Results are also quantitatively similar to those derived
from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) high-top model simulations in
which the stratospheric ozone is mostly prescribed with monthly- and zonally-averaged values. These
results suggest that the ozone-hole-induced SH-summer circulation changes are robust across the
models irrespective of the specific chemistry-atmosphere-ocean coupling
