Quantifying the impact of Tropospheric Chlorine Oxidation Chemistry
This project addresses a fundamental and yet highly unconstrained question in atmospheric chemistry: What is the impact of atomic chlorine on the composition of the troposphere? Gas phase oxidants control the concentrations of important climate and air pollutants such as methane, ozone and particles. Accurate representation of oxidation chemistry in computational models is paramount to our ability predict and understand past, present and future changes to the Earth system. Over recent decades there have been continual suggestions that the chlorine atom may be a significant tropospheric oxidant, but a lack of observations capable of constraining its chemistry mean that its role remains…
