The paper presents an introduction to scientific problems related to ozone in the stratosphere. Key uncertainties in our understanding of the chemistry and dynamics of this region are pointed out. Model simulations of the ozone evolution during the 1980s are discussed to illustrate the importance of heterogeneous chemical reactions in the lower stratosphere.
