How sensitive is the recovery of stratospheric ozone to changes in concentrations of very short-lived bromocarbons?
Naturally produced very short-lived substances (VSLS) account for almost a quarter of the current stratospheric inorganic bromine, Br<sub>y</sub>. Following VSLS oxidation, bromine radicals (Br and BrO) can catalytically destroy ozone. The extent to which possible increases in surface em...
