While the total amount of ozone in the troposphere is small compared with stratospheric ozone, it is important in considering the energy balance of the atmosphere. At the lower levels of the atmosphere, ozone is at higher pressures and its absorption of outgoing infrared radiation is very much more effective than higher-level ozone. 5, record 1, English, - stratospheric%20ozone
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

L’O3 stratosphérique n’est pas considéré comme un gaz à effet de serre, contrairement à l’O3 troposphérique. En règle générale, on partage l’ozone troposphérique de l’ozone stratosphérique à partir de 12 km d’altitude. 6, record 1, French, - ozone%20stratosph%C3%A9rique

Dans un trou, la quantité d’ozone passera, par exemple, de 300 à peut-être 125 unités Dobson sans disparaître complètement toutefois. Le premier trou a été repéré au pôle Sud, le second au pôle Nord à l’automne 1988. 1, record 2, French, - trou%20d%26rsquo%3Bozone

Avant le trou, proprement dit, apparaissent de nombreux trous secondaires (minihole, en anglais) qui finissent par se recouper et former un immense trou où la concentration d’ozone est très faible. 1, record 2, French, - trou%20d%26rsquo%3Bozone
