Measurements of Chlorine Partitioning in the Winter Arctic Stratosphere
Under the extremely cold conditions in the polar winter stratosphere, heterogeneous reactions involving HCl and CIONO***sub2*** on the surfaces of polar stratospheric cloud particles can release large amounts of reactive chlorine from these reservoirs leading to rapid chemical loss of ozone in the A...

| Summary: | Under the extremely cold conditions in the polar winter stratosphere, heterogeneous reactions involving HCl and CIONO***sub2*** on the surfaces of polar stratospheric cloud particles can release large amounts of reactive chlorine from these reservoirs leading to rapid chemical loss of ozone in the Arctic lower stratosphere during late winter and early spring. |
