Processes Associated with Stratospheric Ozone Decrease: Homogeneous Chemistry

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASII,volume 8))

Abstract

The role of homogeneous (gas-phase) chemical reactions in controlling the stratospheric ozone concentration is briefly reviewed. An outline of definitions, conventions, and data sources is followed by a specific discussion of the most important ozone destroying reactions. The catalytic HOx, NOx, and CℓOx cycles are described.
