The ozone seems relatively the same between the tropics and the equator, only dropping off towards the poles. These (see link) are time averaged readings, probably over a year in gathering, so the tropics and equator will have sunlight normal on average over a long enough period.

How is ozone in the stratosphere the same as the troposphere?
No. The ozone is stratosphere is good ozone. The ozone in troposphere is bad ozone.
Why is ozone in the troposphere bad?
Ozone in troposphere is bad. It acts as a pollutant.
What is the danger if ozone is present in troposphere?
If ozone is present in troposphere, it acts as a pollutant.
Why ozone gas is not formed in troposphere?
Ozone gas is not formed in troposphere. It is because the factors that create ozone are not present there.
Where is the ozone located on the troposphere?
See the "Related questions" section below.
What is a common name for troposphere ozone?
It only has one name in each language. In English, it is "ozone layer". Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, and is at its highest concentrations in the lower stratosphere / upper troposphere, where it is called the "ozone layer". Still lots of nitrogen and oxygen there too, though.
Are smog and ozone synonyms?
No. Smog includes ozone and more compounds in the troposphere. Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, where it protects all surface life based on DNA. When it is found in concentrations >0.05 ppm in the troposphere, it is considered a pollutant, a constituent of smog.
How is ozone in the stratosphere the same as the troposphere?
No. The ozone is stratosphere is good ozone. The ozone in troposphere is bad ozone.
Is UV radiation only absorbed by tropospheric ozone?
No, UV-B radiation is uniquely absorbed by ozone, no matter where that ozone is located. Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, but most is concentrated at the bottom of the stratosphere. Ozone concentrations drop to near zero at the top of the exosphere, and the bottom of the troposphere. So very little UV-B is absorbed by ozone in the troposphere,
Is the ozone concentrated in the Troposphere?
No, the ozone is not concentrated in troposphere. It is there in stratosphere.
Why is ozone in the troposphere bad?
Ozone in troposphere is bad. It acts as a pollutant.
Is ozone related with troposphere?
Yes, it is. The ground ozone is present in troposphere.
What percent of the troposphere is ozone?
Troposphere has minute ozone. It is present as a pollutant there.
Ozone is dangerous in which layer of atmosphere?
Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere. It is a minimum value at the extremes of the exosphere, and the bottom of the troposphere (where it is called a pollutant), with a peak value in the lower stratosphere. Ozone concentrations in excess of 0.05ppm in the lower troposphere is dangerous to people with asthma, and much above this, damages plants as well.
What ozone gasses are in the troposphere?
Ozone gas in the troposphere is very low. It is a pollutant.
What is the danger if ozone is present in troposphere?
If ozone is present in troposphere, it acts as a pollutant.
What is the importance of the ozone layer situated in the lower mesosphere?
The ozone layer is located in the lower stratosphere, not the mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere, or troposphere. There is some ozone found in the all layers of the atmosphere, just not at very high concentrations. See the link below for more. There is some ozone in every layer of the atmosphere. It is minimum in the exosphere, and in the lower troposphere. The most total ozone, and the maximum ozone concentration are found in the lower stratosphere. This region is called he "ozone layer". Ozone is located in all layers of the atmosphere. Ozone is in the highest concentration (10ppm) in the tropopause (or lower part of the stratosphere), decreasing to near zero above or below this region. It increases slightly again (<1 ppm) in the troposphere, due in part to the actions of Man.
