G. M. B. DOBSON

(Redirected from Gordon Dobson)
'Gordon Miller Bourne Dobson' FRS (25 February 1889 - 11 March 1976) was a British physicist and meteorologist who did important work on ozone.
By studying meteorites he noticed that the temperature profile of the tropopause was not constant, as had previously been believed (hence the name stratosphere). In fact there was, he showed, a region where the temperature sharply rose. This he proposed was happening because UV radiation was heating ozone in what has become known as the ozone layer.
