Abstract
The solar heating caused by ozone absorption in the tropical stratosphere has been calculated by direct integration over wavelength. Ozone concentration profile, cloud cover and albedo are shown to be the main parameters affecting the heating rate. Variations in the heating rate due to the temperature dependence of ozone absorption, are found to be small.
