Kinetics of the BrO + ClO reaction and implications for stratospheric ozone

The first direct measurements of the rate constant and product distribution of the BrO + ClO reaction as a function of temperature is reported. It is shown that this reaction could account for a large fraction of the springtime ozone depletion over Antarctica and provide a source of chlorine dioxide...
