Isotopic composition of stratospheric water vapor: Measurements and photochemistry
We present a photochemical model describing the changes in the isotopic composition of stratospheric water vapor that result from methane oxidation and reactions with O( ). We then compare model calculations with measurements made with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory far-infrared spectrometer during seven balloon flights that took place between 1989 and 1997. The agreement between the...
متن کاملStratospheric Aerosols from Ci-i4 Photochemistry on Neptune
We have used a combined photochemicalcondensation model to study hydrocarbon ices produced from CH4 photolysis in the stratosphere of Neptune. We predict a total stratospheric haze production rate of 4.2 X 10-15 grams cm -2 s -1 (75% ethane, 25% acetylene, trace diacetylene). The total production rate is insensitive to within a factor of two to order of magnitude changes in the eddy diffusion c...
متن کاملExperiments with a Stratospheric General Circulation Model 111 . Large - Scale Diffusion of Ozone including Photochemistry
As a continuation of the previous experiments in this series, the 18-vertical-level general circulation model was used to investigate the large-scale diffusion of a further two tracers in the stratosphere. In the present experiment both tracers were initiated as photochemical ozone distributions, one distribution being based on photochemistry in an oxygen-only atmosphere, the other on photochem...
متن کاملEffects of stratospheric ozone recovery on photochemistry and ozone air quality in the troposphere
There has been significant stratospheric ozone depletion since the late 1970s due to ozone-depleting substances (ODSs). With the implementation of the Montreal Protocol and its amendments and adjustments, stratospheric ozone is expected to recover towards its pre-1980 level in the coming decades. In this study, we examine the implications of stratospheric ozone recovery for the tropospheric che...
متن کاملSolid-state photochemistry as a formation mechanism for Titan's stratospheric C4N2 ice clouds
We propose that C4N2 ice clouds observed in Titan’s springtime polar stratosphere arise due to solid-state photochemistry occurring within extant ice cloud particles of HCN-HC3N mixtures. This formation process resembles the halogen-induced ice particle surface chemistry that leads to condensed nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) particles and ozone depletion in Earth’s polar stratosphere. As our anal...
