This book describes the discovery of the stratosphere itself and of
various unexpected phenomena in the stratosphere: e.g., a manned
balloon flight in 1901 as high as 11 km; an expedition to Lake
Victoria in Africa in 1908 which found inexplicable west winds in
the stratosphere above the equator; and the discovery of the ozone
layer in the 1930s, the Berlin Phenomenon in 1952, the
Quasi-Biennial Oscillation in 1960, the influence of volcanic
eruptions in 1970, the ozone hole in 1984, and the influence of the
11-year solar cycle in 1987. The book also describes how these
phenomena are connected with each other and how they create
variability in the climate system, in addition to man-made changes,
such as the decrease in ozone. We use the stratosphere as one
example of Nature's complexity and of how often discoveries are
ignored because they do not fit prevalent concepts.
