Abstract

Chemical explanations for the spring decline of Antarctic O 3 involve reactions of ClO or interactions between BrO and ClO. Reaction schemes involving Br radicals have the highest efficiency for removal of O 3 . The chemical mechanisms require low levels of NO x . Recent cooling of the stratosphere ...
