Arrange the following gases in decreasing order of their concentration in atmosphere :
CO2 CH4 O3
Carbon dioxide is the most abundant of the three trace gases, with a present global mean of about 420 ppm.
Methane is much less abundant, at roughly 1.9 ppm (about 1900 ppb).
Ozone in the lower atmosphere is present only at about 0.02 to 0.1 ppm (20 to 100 ppb); even in the stratospheric ozone layer its peak mixing ratio is only about 8 to 10 ppm in a very thin region, so its overall column-averaged concentration remains far below that of carbon dioxide and its near-surface level is below that of methane.
Therefore, the decreasing order is CO2 > CH4 > O3. Any order that puts methane or ozone ahead of carbon dioxide contradicts these measured levels.
Hence, CO2 CH4 O3.
