(1994). The response of ClO radical concentrations to variations in NO₂ radical concentrations in the lower stratosphere. Geophysical Research Letters 21: doi: 10.1029/94GL02373. issn: 0094-8276.

The response of ClO concentrations to changes in NO2 concentrations has been inferred from simultaneous observations of [ClO>, [NO>, [NO2>, and [O3> in mid-latitude lower stratosphere. This analysis demonstrates that [ClO> in inversely correlated with [NO2>, consistent with formation and photolysis of [ClONO2>. A factor of ten range in the concentration of NO2 was sampled (0.1 to 1¿109 mol/cm3), with a comparable range in the ratio of [ClO> to total available inorganic chlorine (1%≤[ClO>/[Cly>≤5%). This analysis leads to an estimate of [ClONO2>/[Cly>=0.12(x/¿2), in the mid-latitude, lower-stratospheric air masses sampled. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1994
