Abstract
The heating effect due to absorption of solar energy by atmospheric ozone was calculated from direct measurements of ozone concentrations and of the ultraviolet spectral intensity of sunlight made during a rocket flight over New Mexico on June 14, 1949. Assuming a constant rate of heat loss throughout the day and night due to infrared emission, and no temperature change from day to day, the diurnal temperature change was found to have maximum value of 5.3 C° at 48 km, falling to 1 C° at 31 km and 70 km.
