Answer to Question #110061 in General Chemistry for Arnasia

Question

How did Newman and Oman demonstrate the importance of ozone for life on Earth?

Answer 1

Since the Montreal Protocol was implemented, the “turn-around” of downward ozone trends and thereafter the subsequent expected increase in stratospheric ozone levels are the highest priorities of the international and national organizations that are responsible for the monitoring of the ozone layer. Reliable ozone profile measurements are of great importance, particularly observations in the upper stratosphere, where increases in ozone at the mid-latitudes are viewed as one of the first signs of stratospheric ozone recovery Reliable long-term ground-based measurements are also becoming more and more important to evaluate composite satellite records.
