A parameterization has been developed which accurately describes the photochemical response of odd oxygen to dynamically induced perturbations in odd oxygen and temperature. The temperature and odd oxygen dependencies of the loss processes for odd oxygen through catalytic cycles involving odd nitrogen, odd chlorine, and odd hydrogen have been specifically included. The assumption that a linear perturbation equation may be used to describe the response of odd oxygen to perturbations in odd oxygen and temperature has been tested and found to be acceptable for a physically reasonable range of perturbations, i.e., up to approximately 50% in odd oxygen mixing ratio and approximately 10 K in temperature. This scheme should prove useful for analyzing the feedback between ozone chemistry and ozone transport and also for analysis of ozone and temperature data.
