| Zusammenfassung |
| Analysis of chain mechanisms of ozone depletion in Ox, HOx, NOx, ClOx and BrOx cycles has been performed. The carried out analysis has allowed to get analytical expression for calculation of the rate of limiting stage of chain prolongation, as well as chain breaking and chain length in cycles specified. It has been shown, that the correct estimation of ozone depletion in the chain processes is possible only through definition of the rate of limiting stage with taking into account of all reactions of chain prolongation, instead of the unique reaction possessing the least rate as it usually became earlier. It has been shown also, that choice of one reaction means ignoring a chain character of the process and leads to overestimate of real rate of ozone destruction. The role of null chain processes in the cycles specified above has been considered. It has been shown, that these processes play defining role in formation of families of odd oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine and bromine. By means of methods developed, data of IPCC scenario RCP 4.5, and two-dimensional model Socrates the rate of ozone destruction and chain length in Ox, HOx, NOx, ClOx and BrOx cycles for modeling conditions of April 2013 at 50 N and height diapason 15-120 km has been calculated. It has been shown, that in the middle stratosphere ozone destruction is due mainly to NOx cycle, whereas in the mesosphere and low thermosphere it is due mainly HOx one. It has been also shown that ClOx and BrOx have the greatest chain length in the upper stratosphere which exceeds 106 and HOx cycle in the low thermosphere has a chain length exceeding 1011. |
