Ozone Chemistry
Ozone molecule. Up to 98% of the sun's high-energy ultraviolet light(UV-B and UV-C) are absorbed by the destruction and formation of atmospheric ozone. The global exchange between ozone and oxygen is on the order of 300 million tons per day. Halogen catalysis of ozone degredation Halogens are a chemical ...

In a similar way, as long as atmospheric ozone is produced as fast as it is depleted, ... the chemical structure of the DNA of living cells. Atmospheric ozone reduces the UV-B radiation from the ... atmospheric flow differences between the hemispheres. Mid-atmospheric cooling and low-atmospheric warming caused by the global climate change can, however, make it possible for an Antarctic-like ozone ...

The ozone layer, depletion and uv radiation
It is UV-B that causes most of the damage to plants and animals. UV-B damage depends on the amount of atmospheric ozone that can act as ... . Fortunately, UV-C is completely absorbed by atmospheric ozone and oxygen. Even with severe ozone reduction, UV-C radiation would still be absorbed by the remaining ozone. How to calculate UV intensity:Look at ...

Antarctica | Ozone Hole | Polar Stratospheric Clouds
Ozone Hole The most common ozone measurement unit is the Dobson Unit (DU). The Dobson Unit is named after atmospheric ozone pioneer G.M.B. Dobson who carried out the earliest studies on ozone in the atmosphere from the 1920s to the 1970s. A DU measures the total amount of ozone ...

Ozone Depletion | Ozone Hole | Stratospheric Ozone
Ozone (O3) Ozone consists of three atoms of oxygen bonded together in contrast to normal atmospheric oxygen which consists of two atoms of oxygen. Ozone is formed in the ... above the troposphere extending upwards to about 50km. The stratosphere contains much of the total atmospheric ozone. The temperature in this region increases with height and can exceed 0°C in the ...

European Ozone Research Coordinating Unit
Ozone Research Coordinating Unit (EORCU) was established at Cambridge in April 1989 and is based at the Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge. EORCU's role has been to coordinate atmospheric research within Europe and to establish worldwide links within the global atmospheric science community by means of coordinating large scale ...
