   Extractions: In the stratosphere, the region of the Earth's atmosphere from 6 to 30 miles (10 to 50 kilometers) above the surface, the chemical compound ozone plays a vital role in absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. During the past 20 years, concentrations of this important compound have been threatened by human-made gases released into the atmosphere, including those known as CFCs. These chemical compounds as well as meteorological conditions in the stratosphere affect the concentration of stratospheric ozone.

   Extractions: The ozone layer is part of the atmosphere of the Earth. Like most natural things it depends on a healthy balance of chemicals so that it can maintain the protection from the sun which it has always given before. Unfortunately the balance of the ozone layer has been upset by man-made chemicals called CFCs that are robbing the atmosphere of ozone gas which makes up the ozone.

    Extractions: Tour Home Page Part I ... Part IV Part I: The History behind the Ozone Hole Dramatic loss of ozone in the lower stratosphere over Antarctica was first noticed in the 1970s by a research group from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) who were monitoring the atmosphere above Antarctica from a research station much like the picture to the right. The Halley Research Station - Information BAS research stations in the Antarctic Folklore has it that when the first measurements were taken in 1985, the drop in ozone levels in the stratosphere was so dramatic that at first the scientists thought their instruments were faulty. Replacement instruments were built and flown out, and it wasn't until they confirmed the earlier measurements, several months later, that the ozone depletion observed was accepted as genuine. Another story goes that the TOMS satellite data didn't show the dramatic loss of ozone because the software processing the raw ozone data from the satellite was programmed to treat very low values of ozone as bad readings! Later analysis of the raw data when the results from the British Antarctic Survey team were published, confirmed their results and showed that the loss was rapid and large-scale; over most of the Antarctica continent.

    Extractions: of Science Sponsored by The ozone layer screens out the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. Can we reverse its destruction? You will get more from this topic if you have mastered the basics of electromagnetic radiation Printer-friendly version of complete topic Up in the stratosphere , small amounts of ozone are constantly being made by the action of sunlight on oxygen. At the same time, ozone is being broken down by natural processes. The total amount of ozone usually stays constant because its formation and destruction occur at about the same rate. Human activity has recently changed that natural balance. Certain manufactured substances (such as chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons ) can destroy stratospheric ozone much faster than it is formed. Go outside on a fine day and feel the sun warm your face. What happens when a cloud passes over? You’ll notice that the cloud takes away some of the heat and light coming from the sun. In much the same way that a cloud blocks the heat on a hot day, the ozone layer in the stratosphere blocks out the sun’s deadly ultraviolet rays. It acts as our planet’s natural sunblock.

14. Science - Ozone Basics
    The ozone in this region is commonly known as the ozone layer. What human activitiesaffect upperatmospheric ozone (the stratospheric ozone layer)?  
    http://www.ozonelayer.noaa.gov/science/basics.htm
    
    Extractions: Science: Ozone Basics Ozone is very rare in our atmosphere, averaging about three molecules of ozone for every 10 million air molecules. In spite of this small amount, ozone plays a vital role in the atmosphere. In the information below, we present "the basics" about this important component of the Earth's atmosphere. Ozone is mainly found in two regions of the Earth's atmosphere. Most ozone (about 90%) resides in a layer that begins between 6 and 10 miles (10 and 17 kilometers) above the Earth's surface and extends up to about 30 miles (50 kilometers). This region of the atmosphere is called the stratosphere. The ozone in this region is commonly known as the ozone layer. The remaining ozone is in the lower region of the atmosphere, which is commonly called the troposphere. The figure (above) shows an example of how ozone is distributed in the atmosphere. What roles does ozone play in the atmosphere and how are humans affected?

16. The NOAA Aeronomy Laboratory
    Conducting research on the chemical and dynamic processes of the Earth's atmosphere, the Aeronomy Laboratory seeks to provide a sound scientific basis for decisions made in industry and government related to ozone layer protection, air quality improvement, and climate change.  
    http://www.al.noaa.gov
    
    Extractions: The Aeronomy Laboratory (AL) is one of the twelve Laboratories in the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The Laboratories of OAR are located in several states, from the East Coast to the West Coast. The research areas of the individual Laboratories focus on particular aspects of the Earth system and on different research approaches, with the common broad aim of improving the understanding and prediction of geophysical phenomena that relate to the well-being of humankind. The ultimate aim of the Aeronomy Lab's research is: The Aeronomy Laboratory conducts fundamental research on the chemical and physical processes of the Earth's atmosphere. This research concentrates on the lower two layers of the atmosphere, known as the troposphere and stratosphere (see figure below). Both the stratosphere and the troposphere have important direct and indirect effects on the well-being of humankind. In this century, it has become increasingly clear that humans are influencing the chemical composition of the troposphere and stratosphere in ways that can impact conditions at the Earth's surface. Some of the most challenging environmental issues of our time have arisen. At the Aeronomy Lab, over 120 scientists, engineers, students, and supporting staff are engaged in studies of these issues, working with colleagues from other institutions across the United States and around the world.
