During the unusually cold 1994-95 Arctic winter, the Microwave Limb Sounder observed enhanced chlorine monoxide (ClO) in late December and throughout February and early March. Late Dec (ClO) was higher than during any of the previous 3 years, consistent with the colder early winter. Between late Dec 1994 and early Feb 1995, 465 K ({approximately}50 h Pa) vortex-averaged ozone O{sub 3} decreased by {approximately}5%, with local decreases of {approximately}30%; additional local decreases of {approximately}5% were seen between early Feb and early Mar. Transport calculations indicate that vortex-averaged chemical loss between late Dec and early Feb was {approximately}20% at 465 K, with {approximately}1/4 of that masked by downward transport of O{sub 3}. This Arctic chemical O{sub 3} loss is not readily detectable in MLS column O{sub 3} data. 12 refs., 7 fig.
