The photochemical mechanisms that give rise to the ozone layer were discovered by the British physicist in 1930. Ozone in the Earth's stratosphere is created by striking containing two oxygen (O2), splitting them into individual oxygen atoms (atomic oxygen); the atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone, O3. The ozone molecule is also unstable (although, in the stratosphere, long-lived) and when ultraviolet light hits ozone it splits into a molecule of O2 and an atom of atomic oxygen, a continuing process called the, thus creating an ozone layer in the the region from about 10 to 50 kilometres (33,000 to 160,000 ft) above Earth's surface. About 90% of the ozone in our atmosphere is contained in the stratosphere. Ozone concentrations are greatest between about 20 and 40 kilometres (12 and 25 mi), where they range from about 2 to 8 parts per million. If all of the ozone were compressed to the pressure of the air at sea level, it would be only a few thick.[
The ozone layer is a layer in which contains relatively high concentrations of (O3). This layer absorbs 97–99% of th's high frequency which is damaging to life on EarthIt is mainly located in the lower portion of th from approximately 13 to 40 kilometres (8.1 to 25 mi) above Earth, though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically. The ozone layer was discovered in 1913 by the French physicists and Its properties were explored in detail by the British meteorologist who developed a simple (the that could be used to measure stratospheric ozone from the ground. Between 1928 and 1958 Dobson established a worldwide network of ozone monitoring stations which continues to operate today. The " a convenient measure of the of ozone overhead, is named in his honor.
