A class of isotope effects that alters isotope ratios on a mass-independent basis provides a
tool for studying a wide range of processes in atmospheres of Earth and other planets as …

Three factors are currently driving the study of isotope variations in atmospheric trace gases
and aerosols. First of all, isotope effects in nature provide information on a host of processes …

The puzzling mass-independent isotopic enrichment in ozone formation contrasts markedly
with the more recently observed large unconventional mass-dependent ratios of the …

Dissociation of ozone in the Chappuis bands has been used as an O atom source to study
isotope effects occurring in the O (3P)+ O2 (3∑ g) recombination reaction. The ozone …

Highly vibrationally excited O2 (X 3σ g–, v≥ 26) has been observed from the
photodissociation of ozone (O3), and the quantum yield for this reaction has been …

We propose a novel mechanism for isotopic exchange between CO2 and O3 via O (1D)+
CO2→ CO3* followed by CO3*→ CO2+ O (3P). A one‐dimensional model calculation …

The paper presents a review of the far‐infrared (FIR) properties of the Earth's atmosphere
and their role in climate. These properties have been relatively poorly understood, and it is …

A new cryogenic collection system has been flown on board a balloon gondola to obtain
separate samples of ozone and carbon dioxide without entrapping major atmospheric …

An intramolecular theory of the unusual mass-independent isotope effect for ozone
formation and dissociation is described. The experiments include the enrichment factor, its …

Ozone isotope data for 49O3 and 50O3 are presented, that were obtained from 28
stratospheric samples collected over 10 years onboard balloon payloads. Enrichments for …
