2 Stratospheric Ozone 2000 m—0.8 bar 5500 m—0.5 bar (18,000 feet)
nm 75% of Mass below 17 km >390 nm

6 Stratospheric vs. Tropospheric Ozone

7 Ozone Depletion O2 + hv (<240 nm)  O + O O + O2  O3
O3 + O  2O2 (Naturally slow) O3 + Cl  O2 + ClO ClO + O  O2 + Cl O3 + O  2O2 (Catalytically fast) Cl can catalyze destruction of O3 100,000 times
