MeSH definition : Ozone in the Earth's stratosphere. It is produced continuously by the action of solar
ULTRAVIOLET RAYS on oxygen in the stratosphere. The stratospheric ozone (especially
at the ozone layer) blocks much of the solar UV radiation of wavelengths of 320 nanometers
or less from being transmitted to lower ATMOSPHERE of the Earth.;
