Abstract
PREVIOUS estimates of the height of the ozone in the atmosphere, including our own measurements at Arosa1, agreed in giving the centre of gravity of the ozone layer at about 40–50 km. above sea-level. These estimates were based on measurements of the intensity of the spectrum of direct sunlight as the sun was rising or setting, and—as we were careful to point out—it was necessary in deducing the height to assume that there was no regular diurnal variation in the amount of ozone through the day.
