Summary

Abstract: A UV/visible diode array spectrometer was installed at Arrival Heights (93/94 seasons) for zenith skylight measurements of Chlorine Dioxide (OClO) and Bromine Monoxide (BrO) in two wavelength ranges, in the spring to see the perturbation of chlorine chemistry in the early spring with high levels of active chlorine and bromine being converted back to the reservoir (HCl) and active nitrogen levels ...
