Ozone production and loss rates

Figure 7. Calculated ozone production and loss rates for two different conditions from the AER two-dimensional model. Production and loss rates above 20 km are diurnally averaged loss rates for the spring equinox at 30°N. Midday loss rates are approximately two times larger. Production and loss rates for midday below 20 km are calculated for the chemically perturbed region over Antarctica on September 16,1987. The catalytic cycles responsible for the loss are explained in the text. Although ozone loss occurs at higher altitudes over Antarctica, in situ observations extend only to 19 km.
