Meteoric material and the behavior of upper stratospheric polar zone

Ozone mixing ratios as a function of pressure level and time are presented based on data obtained with the Nimbus-7 SBUV instrument between 1979 and 1984, and implications of this data for the explanations of the spring Antarctic ozone depletion are considered. It is suggested that meteoric atoms re...

It is suggested that meteoric atoms react with the atmosphere to bond to OH, and subsequently react with HCl to form salts, resulting in the accumulation of chlorine during polar winter. The sudden release of this chlorine from photodissociation of these salts during spring could account for the loss of ozone in the upper atmosphere.
