b. Standard distribution of atmospheric absorbers. In this subsection, the vertical distributions of water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, and cloud, which are used for the computations of thermal equilibrium, and those of heat balance in the following section, are described. They are adopted unless we specify otherwise.

Atmospheric Ozone Chemistry - Columbia University
www.columbia.eduThe Kinetics of Atmospheric Ozone Ozone is a minor component of the earth’s atmosphere (0.02 – 0.1 parts per million based on volume (ppmv)), yet it has a significant role in sustaining life on earth. It absorbs ultraviolet (uv) radiation from the sun and hence reduces the levels of uv radiation reaching the earth’s surface .

The ozone is between the stratosphere and the mesosphere. Its symbol is 0 3 because it is made of three oxygen atoms.

New, higher estimates of emissions from agricultural sources improve our understanding of the global N 2O budget. The atmospheric abundances of major greenhouse gases that deplete stratospheric ozone are decreasing (CFC-11, CFC-113, CH 3CCl 3, CCl
