Atmospheric circulation and gravity maintain the ozone layer in place
Atmospheric dynamics, circulation, and transport processes play a fundamental role in shaping and maintaining the distribution of the ozone layer alongside photochemical reactions.
The retrieved literature confirms that atmospheric dynamics and circulation (such as stratospheric motions and vertical motion) are major drivers governing the distribution, transport, and structural characteristics of the ozone layer. Papers [3] and [11] explicitly support the role of atmospheric circulation and transport in regulating the ozone layer's state.

The study demonstrates that geographic and seasonal variations in total ozone are clearly associated with large-scale circulation processes in the lower stratosphere.

The study highlights that the distribution of the ozone layer is jointly determined by photochemical reactions and atmospheric dynamic processes, showing how vertical motion significantly shapes its structure.
