Assessing the impact of chlorine ions on solar proton event induced ozone loss

Assessing the impact of chlorine ions on solar proton event induced ozone loss

  Particle Precipitation High energy particles (e.g. electrons and protons) that precipitate at high latitudes can alter the chemical composition of the atmosphere by different photochemical reactions. This mainly happens due to primary collision processes and subsequent ion and neutral-chemistry reactions. Such reactions ordered by increasing energy are, for example, excitation, photo-dissoc ...[Read More]
