Physics and chemistry of stratospheric ozone and interactions with climate change
Ozone is one of the key constituents in the atmosphere, although present only in trace amounts. The stratospheric ozone plays a pivotal role in regulating the incidence of harmful ultra-violet radiation (400- 100 nm) and radiative balance of the earth, and thus influences the global climate.
