Abstract

Ozone (O₃) is formed in the atmosphere when oxygen atoms (O) react with oxygen molecules (O₂). In the upper atmosphere solar UV radiation of wavelengths shorter than 242 nm can photolyze O₂ molecules and thereby produce O atoms. Since oxygen strongly absorbs solar UV, O₂ photolysis is restricted to the upper atmosphere. Figure 3.1, displaying absorption features of oxygen and ozone as a function of wavelength, shows that UV of wavelengths shorter than 242 nm is completely absorbed in the middle atmosphere and definitely does not reach the troposphere. Thus the resulting ozone layer is confined to the middle atmosphere, i.e. the stratosphere and mesosphere.
