q |
The reasons for
the inversion in
|
|
the stratosphere is due to the ozone
|
|
absorption of ultraviolet solar
|
|
|
energy.
|
|
|
q |
Although maximum ozone
|
|
concentration occurs at 25km, the
|
|
|
lower air density at 50km allows
|
|
solar energy to heat up temperature
|
there at a much greater degree.
|
|
|
q |
Also, much solar energy is
|
|
|
absorbed in the upper stratosphere
|
|
and can not reach the level of
|
|
|
ozone maximum.
