Reactions of BrO Radicals Relevant to Polar Chemistry

  • Conference paper
The Tropospheric Chemistry of Ozone in the Polar Regions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASII,volume 7))

Abstract

The ozone destruction observed at polar sunrise in the lower Arctic atmosphere has been suggested to be linked to catalytic reactions of BrOx (Br, BrO) radicals [Barrie et al., 1988]. The main catalytical cycle was considered to be the following:

$$\frac{{\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {BrO + BrO}& \to &{2Br + {O_2}}\\ {2(Br + O}& \to &{BrO + {O_2})} \end{array}}}{{\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {net}&{2{O_3}}& \to &{3{O_2}} \end{array}}}{\rm{ }}$$
