The MIPAS HOCl climatology

Envisat MIPAS measurements of CFC-11: retrieval, validation, and climatology

From July 2002 to March 2004 the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) aboard the European Space Agency’s Environmental Satellite (Envisat) measured nearly continuously mid infrared limb radiance spectra. These measurements are utilised to retrieve the global distribution of the chlorofluorocarbon CFC11 by applying a new fast forward model for Envisat MIPAS and an ac...

Pathways for the OH + Cl2 → HOCl + Cl and HOCl + Cl → HCl + ClO Reactions.

High level coupled-cluster theory, with spin-orbit coupling evaluated via the Breit-Pauli operator in the interacting-states approach, is used to investigate the OH radical reaction with Cl2 and the subsequent reaction HOCl + Cl. The entrance complex, transition state, and exit complex for both reactions have been determined using the CCSD(T) method with correlation consistent basis sets up to ...
