Abstract:Abstract. An important driver of climate change is stratospheric water vapour (SWV), which in turn is influenced by the oxidation of atmospheric methane (CH 4 ). In order to parameterize the production of water vapour (H 2 O) from CH 4 oxidation, it is often assumed that the oxidation of one CH 4 molecule yields exactly two molecules of H 2 O. However, this assumption is based on an early study, which also gives evidence, that this is not true at all altitudes.In the current study we re-evaluate this assumptio… Show more
