Default Shuttle filghts correlated to ozone loss

The Shuttle solid fuel rockets, producing the chlorine compounds and
alumina, are active in the higher altitudes after the booster drops off, I

suddenly en masse than halocarbons trickling up.


The SRBs _are_ the solid-fuel rockets.


Which by now I have figured. Aren't these newsgroups for learning?

But I think my point still holds. There is more intense UV where the SRBs
stop, than there is where the most of the ozone is.

Now I see it is the water-producing rockets still operating at higher
altitude. That reduces the UV and we know that when the sun is less active,
producing less UV, that there is less ozone. Though if a mass ejection
reaches earth that destroys ozone.
