In 1780, the famous English chemist Joseph Priestley (right) found that plants could "restore air which has been injured by the burning of candles." He used a mint plant, and placed it into an upturned glass jar in a vessel of water for several days. He then found that "the air would neither extinguish a candle, nor was it all inconvenient to a mouse which I put into it". In other words, he discovered that plants produce oxygen. A few years later, in 1794, the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier (left), discovered the concept of oxidation, but soon after was executed during the French Revolution for being a Monarchist sympathiser. The judge who pronounced sentence said "The Republic has no need for scientists".

Fast vertical mixing Mixing across tropopause is slow Fast vertical mixing Direct interface with surface T w/ altitude (adiabatic lapse rate) Rapid vertical mixing High T because of: high E of bomb. radiation Slow vertical mixing T w/ altitude because of h abs. by O 3 T w/ altitude because h abs. by O 3 less important
