First remote sensing measurements of ClOOCl along with ClO and ClONO<sub>2</sub> in activated and deactivated Arctic vortex conditions using new ClOOCl IR absorption cross sections

Active chlorine species play a dominant role in the catalytic destruction of stratospheric ozone in the polar vortices during the late winter and early spring seasons. Recently, the correct understanding of the ClO dimer cycle was challenged by the release of new laboratory absorption cross sections...
