The Chapman ozone mechanism combines oxygen photodissociation, three-body ozone formation, ozone photodissociation, and the reaction between atomic oxygen and ozone. Under local steady state and dominant photolytic ozone loss,

An ozone layer is an atmospheric altitude range with enhanced ozone abundance. Oxygen-dissociating ultraviolet radiation is strongest aloft while three-body formation is fastest at greater density, so their competition can concentrate ozone at intermediate altitude.
