Abstract:Chloromethane (CH 3 Cl) is an important provider of chlorine to the stratosphere but detailed knowledge of its budget is missing. Stable isotope analysis is a potentially powerful tool to constrain CH 3 Cl flux estimates. The largest degree of isotope fractionation is expected to occur for deuterium in CH 3 Cl in the hydrogen abstraction reactions with its main sink reactant tropospheric OH and its minor sink reactant Cl atoms. We determined the isotope fractionation by stable hydrogen isotope analysis of the … Show more
