Ozone layer stratospheric wind patterns. In the northern hemisphere these patterns, known as the Brewer-Dobson circulation, make the ozone layer thickest in the spring and thinnest in the fall. When ozone in produced by solar UV radiation in the tropics, it is done so by circulation lifting ozone-poor air out of the troposphere and into the stratosphere where the sun photolyzes oxygen molecules and turns them into ozone. Then, the ozone-rich air is carried to higher latitudes and drops into lower layers of the atmosphere. Research has found that the ozone levels in the United States are highest in the spring months
The Layer Monument The Layer Monument The Layer monument is an early 17th-century polychrome marble mural monument (320 × 350 cm) erected to the memory of the lawyer Christopher Layer (1531–1600), and located in the Church of Saint John the Baptist, Maddermarket, Norwich.
