Atmosphere Interview Question:

Tell me does the depletion of ozone layer increase ground-level ultraviolet radiation?

Submitted by: Administrator

Yes, ultraviolet radiation at Earth's surface increases as the amount of overhead total ozone decreases, because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. Measurements by ground-based instruments and estimates made using satellite data have confirmed that surface ultraviolet radiation has increased in regions where ozone depletion is observed.
