The Ozone layer
The ozone layer is in the lower stratosphere, so:the rest of the stratospherethe mesospherethe thermosphere, and finallythe exosphere.
The Earth's layer that sunlight strikes first is the ozone layer.
That would be the 2nd layer, the stratosphere layer with the ozone at top.

assumption
Ozone layer, yes can repair itself. However without the disturbance of man made ODS's.
Carbon dioxide, CO2, has very little to do with the ozone layer. The ozone layer will repair itself if we stop damaging it, which we have, by banning CFCs, chlorofluorocarbon gases, the chlorine of which was destroying the ozone molecules. Scientists hope the ozone layer will be completely restored by 2060.
In order to repair the ozone layer, we must decrease the use of ozone depleting substances. These are the ones containing CFC's which deplete the ozone layer.
Probably.The ozone layer is constantly repairing itself. When ozone absorbs energetic radiation, it breaks down. Only a few greenhouse gases affect the average concentration of ozone. The biggest one is water vapor.
Yes, it is possible for the ozone layer to recover from global warming. This can be done by stopping the emission of greenhouse gases.
Ozone layer forms in summer. therefore it initiates its recovery at that time.
Lightning does cause ozone replenishment. However it cannot repair ozone. It is because the ozone gas is too large to be replenished.
Maybe ========================== Did the person that ask this question mean "healing of the ozone layer" or "repair of the ozone layer", instead of "separation"?
No. The ozone layer is unaffected by storms that happen "miles" below it. The ozone hole closes when sunlight with UV-C finally makes it to that region of the atmosphere and ozone is made, rather than diffusing in from regions that do get UV-C.
