Abstract
- The kinetics of ozone destruction within the Antarctic polar vortex are studied via simultaneous in situ observations of ClO, BrO, O3, N2O, pressure, and temperature. It is found that the chlorine dimer mechanism rate, limited by the reaction ClO + ClO + M yields ClOOCl + M, contributes the most to the integrated rate of ozone destruction within the vortex on isentropic surfaces between altitudes of 14 and 18.3 km.
