Its principle function is carried out by fixing light energy as kinetic energy and, according to that hypothesis, it is damaged by the free radicals released in large quantities by chlorofluorocarbons.
The Brewer-Dobson circulation explains its distribution away from the tropics, and the Rowland- Molina hypothesis extends another advanced by Paul Crutzen about nitric acid.

For 10 points, identify this essential component of the lower stratosphere, which absorbs a large part of incoming ultraviolet light, and whose efficacy is at risk due to the development of a hole.
