Is most of the ozone in the earths atmosphere located in the ionosphere?
No. The jet stream is mostly in the troposphere. The ozone layers is above it in the stratosphere.
What layer does the jet stream flow below?
The main jet streams are located near the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with altitude) and the stratosphere(where temperature increases with altitude).
What is the layer in which the jet stream can be found?
The jet stream is thought to be in or near the tropopause. The tropopause is not an atmospheric layer, rather it's the boundary between the troposphere (the lowest layer where most weather happens) and the stratosphere (the next higher layer).
Is the ozone layer homogeneous?
Ozone is simply a molecule with two resonant forms. So I will assume the question is, "is the ozone layer homogeneous?" No and yes. The ozone layer varies in thickness latitudinally (equator to pole), and since insolation (Sun light) varies latitudinally also, the concentration of ozone varies both by latitude and local season. In general, the ozone at a given latitude and altitude is homogeneous due to jet stream (and dependent / derivative) currents. But concentration gradients can and do exist both latitudinally and altitudinally. Mass transport vertically and towards/away from the poles is very slow... much slower than the half-life of ozone in the air. And the ozone layer, like most of the rest of the atmosphere, is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and other trace gases, with about 9 ppm of ozone at the peak value.
What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?
The jet stream
In which layer of the atmosphere is the jet stream located?
The jet stream is located in the tropopause. This is the layer between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The jet stream is very strong wind that blows eastward.
Is most of the ozone in the earths atmosphere located in the ionosphere?
No. The jet stream is mostly in the troposphere. The ozone layers is above it in the stratosphere.
Where is the jet stream located?
The jet stream is located in the stratosphere.
Which is the layer of the atmosphere has the jet stream?
The troposphere
The jet stream is at the top of this layer?
Troposhere
What attaches itself to the jet stream and tells you where the stratsophere begins?
Ozone particles; part of the ozonosphere.
What layer does the jet stream flow below?
The main jet streams are located near the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with altitude) and the stratosphere(where temperature increases with altitude).
Where is the jet steam located on earth?
between troposphere and ozone

What do scientists feel is damging the ozone layer?
According to the scientists the ozone layer is being depleted not only by one but a no of factors which include the CFC's , the various gases released from the cars and the jet planes and even the water vapour.
Which is stronger polar jet stream or subtropical jet stream?
Polar jet stream is stronger.
