Ozone layer 28, 2003, which operated until early 2012. Ozone layer The Ozone layer or ozone shield is a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation. It contains high concentrations of ozone (O) in relation to other parts of the atmosphere, although still small in relation to other gases in the stratosphere. The ozone layer contains less than 10 parts per million of ozone, while the average ozone concentration in Earth's atmosphere as a whole is about 0.3 parts per million. The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere, from approximately above
Computation of radiowave attenuation in the atmosphere recommendations is available for download and is available to the public. The document ITU-R P.676-8 of the ITU-R section considers the atmosphere as being divided into spherical homogeneous layers; each layer has a constant refraction index. By the use of trigonometry, a couple of formulas and an algorithm were derived. Through the use of an invariant, the same results can be directly derived: An incident ray at A under the angle Φ hits the layer B at the angle "θ". From basic Euclidean geometry: By Snell's law: so that Notes: The ITU recommended algorithm consists of launching a ray from
