Atmospheric chemistry: Sun, sea and ozone destruction
Roland von Glasow1
Abstract
Halogens are known to decrease the levels of stratospheric ozone. The latest measurements show that something similar occurs in the lower atmosphere over tropical oceans — and probably above most other oceans, too.
Ozone is a fascinating atmospheric gas, with different roles depending on where it is located. In the troposphere (the lowest part of the atmosphere that extends about 10 kilometres above Earth's surface) it is a greenhouse gas, and can be harmful to plants and animals.
