Box model studies of ClO sub(x) deactivation and ozone loss during the 1991/92 northern hemisphere winter

Calculations using a photochemical box model from mid-January to early March 1992 show the return from perturbed levels of ClO sub(x) to near background levels, and the associated rise of ClONO sub(2). The calculated values of ClONO sub(2) in an in-vortex, background aerosol scenario are in good agr...

Summary:Calculations using a photochemical box model from mid-January to early March 1992 show the return from perturbed levels of ClO sub(x) to near background levels, and the associated rise of ClONO sub(2). The calculated values of ClONO sub(2) in an in-vortex, background aerosol scenario are in good agreement with those observed by the balloon borne MIPAS-B limb sounder. Implications for ozone loss are discussed.
