Scientific paper

The chemistry of the stratosphere is dominated by the processes that remove the 'odd oxygen' (atomic oxygen and ozone) generated by the photolysis of molecular oxygen. In recent years it has been established that the Chapman reaction (O + O3 = O2 + O2) cannot account for all the observed destruction of odd oxygen. Catalytic cycles involving nitrogen oxides, hydrogen radicals, and chlorine species have been shown to be important, and it is now understood that these catalytic cycles are closely linked to one another.
