QUESTIONS QUESTIONS
1. Based on the major source of OH described last class where do you expect OH formation to be high?
2. The Chapman mechanism includes a fifth reaction: O + O + M O2 + M
What is the effect of this reaction on ozone? Would it be more important in the lower or in the upper stratosphere?
3. Of all the ozone loss mechanisms we examined, can any operate at night?
