Surface-enhanced nitrate photolysis on ice.
Heterogeneous nitrate photolysis is the trigger for many chemical processes occurring in the polar boundary layer and is widely believed to occur in a quasi-liquid layer (QLL) at the surface of ice. The dipole-forbidden character of the electronic transition relevant to boundary layer atmospheric chemistry and the small photolysis/photoproduct yields in ice (and in water) may confer a significa...

متن کاملImplications of this effect and of H2O2 surface accumulation on photochemistry at the airewater interface of atmospheric droplets
Experiments are conducted to determine the effect of a cage ofwatermolecules on the photolysis quantum yields of nitrate, FeOH2þ, and H2O2. Results suggest that the quantum yields of nitrate and FeOH2þ are decreased by the recombination of photo-fragments ( OH þ NO2 and Fe2þ þ OH, respectively) before they leave the surrounding cage of water molecules. However, no evidence is found for an enhan...
متن کاملIsotopic view on nitrate loss in Antarctic surface snow
[1] Massive post-depositional processes alter the nitrate concentration in polar firn where the annual snow accumulation is low. This hinders a direct atmospheric interpretation of the ice core nitrate record. Fractionation of nitrate isotopes during post-depositional nitrate loss may allow estimating the amount of nitrate loss in the past. We measured dN of nitrate in two Antarctic surface cor...
متن کاملInvestigating the preservation of nitrate isotopic composition in a tropical ice core from the Quelccaya Ice Cap, Peru
The nitrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of nitrate in ice cores offers unique potential for examining reactive nitrogen oxide (NOx) budgets and oxidation chemistry of past atmospheres. A low-latitude record is of particular interest given that the dominant natural sources of NOx and production of hydroxyl radical are most prevalent in the tropics. Any interpretation of nitrate in ice cores...
