Since stratospheric ozone is produced by solar UV radiation, one might expect to find the highest ozone levels over the tropics and the lowest over polar regions.

While most of the ozone is indeed created over the tropics, the stratospheric circulation then transports it poleward and downward to the lower stratosphere of the high latitudes.

The ozone layer is higher in altitude in the tropics, and lower in altitude in the extratropics, especially in the polar regions.

As this air slowly rises in the tropics, ozone is produced by the overhead sun which photolyzes oxygen molecules.
