Hemispheric average Cl atom concentration from <sup>13</sup>C/<sup>12</sup>C ratios in atmospheric methane

Methane is a significant atmospheric trace gas in the context of greenhouse warming and climate change. The dominant sink of atmospheric methane is the hydroxyl radical (OH). Recently, a mechanism for production of chlorine radicals (Cl) in the marine boundary layer (MBL) via bromine autocatalysis h...
