In the past 40 years, atmospheric chemists have come to realize that halogens exert a
powerful influence on the chemical composition of the troposphere and through that …

Halogen chemistry is well known for ozone destruction in the stratosphere, however reactive
halogens also play an important role in the chemistry of the troposphere. In the last two …

Multi Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) in the atmosphere is a
novel measurement technique that represents a significant advance on the well-established …

Air‐sea exchange of mercury (Hg) is a critical part of the global Hg cycle as it determines, to
a large degree, the response time of the biosphere to changes in mercury inputs. Recent …

During springtime in the polar regions, unique photochemistry converts inert halide salt ions
(eg Br−) into reactive halogen species (eg Br atoms and BrO) that deplete ozone in the …

Air− aqueous sodium halide solution interfaces are examined using vibrational sum
frequency generation spectroscopy. Raman and ATR-FTIR (attenuated total reflection …

The chemistry of the troposphere entails a complex combination of gaseous, aqueous, and
surface processes involving a wide variety of compounds, both organic and inorganic. 1 …

Unlike other heavy metals that are inherently associated with atmospheric aerosols, mercury
in ambient air exists predominantly in the gaseous elemental form. Because of its prolonged …

Current estimates of annual bromoform production by temperate marine algae
underestimate, by at least an order of magnitude, the flux required to sustain atmospheric …

The UV absorption cross-section spectra of the atmospherically important radical BrO have
been determined using the recently developed technique of time-windowing Fourier …
