6. Given the way in which ozone is produced in the stratosphere, estimate what would happen to the profile of ozone if the atmosphere's density scale height increased. How might this change the temperature profile in the stratosphere? [2]

Step 1
Ozone is primarily produced through a process called the Chapman cycle. In this cycle, oxygen molecules (O2) are dissociated by solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation into individual oxygen atoms (O). These oxygen atoms then react with other oxygen molecules to form Show more…
