The ozone layer is a layer in Earth's atmosphere which
contains relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). This
layer absorbs 93-99% of the sun's high frequency ultraviolet
light, which is potentially damaging to life on earth [1]. Over
91% of the ozone in Earth's atmosphere is present here.[1] It is
mainly located in the lower portion of the stratosphere from
approximately 10 km to 50 km above Earth, though the
thickness varies seasonally and geographically[2]. The ozone
layer was discovered in 1913 by the French physicists
Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson. Its properties were
explored in detail by the British meteorologist G. M. B.
Dobson, who developed a simple spectrophotometer (the
Dobson meter) 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 "Dobson unit",
a convenient measure of the total amount of ozone in a
column overhead, is named in his honor.
