An Investigation into How Ultraviolet Radiation Effects the Growth of Crop Seeds Introduction The ozone layer, also known as the ozonosphere, is found in the Earth's stratosphere. Above is a diagram explaining where the ozone layer is situated in the atmosphere Over 90% of the Earths ozone can be found here. That doesn't mean to say that ozone is only found in the atmosphere. It can be easily produced by any high voltage arc here on earth for example a spark plug and a Van de Graaff generator. The ozone layer was discovered by two French physicists, Charles Farby and Henri Buisson, in 1913. But it was a British meteorologist, G.M.B Dobson who explored its properties by using a spectrophotometer. Above is a diagram of the basic working of a spectrophotometer This instrument was used to measure stratospheric ozone from the ground. Between 1928 and 1958 a worldwide network of ozone monitoring stations was established by Dobson....
