Schönbein discovered ozone in 1839 and in 1850 it was determined that it was a naturally occurring atmospheric constituent. By 1860 surface ozone was being measured at hundreds of locations in Europe. The measurements at Paris from 1873 show levels there were half of what they are today. In 1879 Cornu suggested that the rather sharp limitation of the end of the solar spectrum as received at the ground was due to absorption in the atmosphere and, in 1880, Hartley postulated the existence of a layer above the troposphere, the stratosphere, where ozone was responsible for the absorption of solar ultra-violet radiation at wavelengths between 200 and 300nm. In 1921 Dobson and Lindeman, both working on meteors at the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford University discovered that the temperature in the stratosphere increased with height in contrast to the troposphere. They concluded that radiative processes must dominate in the stratosphere and, as had been predicted by Hartley, that the source of the energy must be from the absorption of solar UV radiation by ozone
