| Summary: | . Simultaneous in situ measurements of stratospheric and have been made for the first time. numerous flights of the aircraft covering latitudes from October 1991 March 1992, a detailed study of the partitioning of to reservoir chlorine identifies the ClO/} ratio as a key indicator of heterogeneous processing both and within the Arctic polar vortex. mixin ratios below about remarkably constant C1O values of about characterize the lower stratosphere. observed values are significantly higher than those derived from a either gas phase photochemistry alone (2%), or heterogeneous sulfate chemistry (510 %). During the Arctic early spring, inorganic conversion of into reactive chlorine has taken place, the vortex edge is poorly defined by Loss of ICI and its slow following tem polar heterogeneous chemistry f 1 as a ncw and unique dynamical tracer o recessed air, after have disappeared and CIO as recovered to lower levels. Introduction ozone loss is initiated by the heterogeneous conversi. |
