chlorine monoxide

The measurement of chlorine monoxide is important for atmospheric chemistry.

The chlorine monoxide is believed to have come from the breakdown of chlorofluorocarbons.

The elevated chlorine monoxide amounts between days 55 and 70 indicate that ozone depletion is taking place.

The results of these measurements are also used to determine the relationship between chlorine monoxide concentrations and ozone depletion.

In 1992, the satellite found high levels of chlorine monoxide over Antarctica as early as June 1, said the report.

Description Average daily chlorine monoxide amounts over Eureka after polar sunrise in 1997.

Levels of ozone-destroying chlorine monoxide (ClO) are the highest ever observed.

Chlorine monoxide is a chemical radical with the chemical formula ClO.

The aircraft is equipped not only to collect samples but to instantly analyze the air through which it passes for short-lived chemicals, especially chlorine monoxide.

In the stratosphere, chlorine atoms react with ozone molecules to form chlorine monoxide and oxygen.

Chemically, it is a dimer of chlorine monoxide (ClO).

An indication of the expected uncertainties is also given, showing, for example, a high-sensitivity to mesospheric water vapour and stratospheric chlorine monoxide.

The reaction of chlorine monoxide with cyclohexene at −20° in the dark was found to proceed by an addition reaction to yield trans-2-chlorocyclohexyl hypochlorite.

Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) do play a key role as an atmospheric sink for the chlorine monoxide molecule.

The atmospheric area of high chlorine monoxide concentration, and therefore of potentially greatest ozone depletion, was tracked by satellite during January, scientists said.

These then readily form chlorine monoxide, and this cycle can continue until two radicals react to form dichlorine dioxide, terminating the radical reaction.

Sulfate aerosols that reach the stratosphere catalyse the production of chlorine monoxide (ClO), which destroys ozone (O).

Even more convincing was the measurement, by James G. Anderson and collaborators, of chlorine monoxide (ClO) in the stratosphere.

They become catalysts which convert relatively benign man-made chlorine into active free radicals like chlorine monoxide which are destructive of the stratospheric ozone layer.

Chlorine monoxide (ClO), a known cause of ozone depletion in the stratosphere above polar regions, has been discovered in the upper atmosphere over temperate latitudes.

NASA satellite surveys had revealed record levels of chlorine monoxide over parts of North America and Europe during some days in January.

In older literature it is often referred to as chlorine monoxide, which can be a source of confusion as that name now refers to the neutral species ClO.

When a free atom of oxygen collides with the chlorine monoxide, molecular oxygen is produced releasing the chlorine atom to attack more ozone:

This effect, together with increased stratospheric chlorine levels from chlorofluorocarbon pollution, generates chlorine monoxide (ClO), which destroys ozone (O).

These species include, among others, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine monoxide, nitric acid, water vapour, and nitrous oxide. An overview of the mission and the planned measurements is given.
