Production and Destruction Chemistry of Highly Excited Oxygen in the Stratosphere

小行星9633002 本项目将研究在拟模拟平流层上部发生的情况下，高度振动激发的分子氧的归宿。 该项目的目标是进一步了解该地区臭氧的形成和破坏过程，特别是高度振动激发（v 26）的氧气与其他氧气分子反应形成臭氧的假设。 通过一系列实验室实验，PI将调查导致平流层臭氧形成的反应过程。 PI将构建一个新的实验装置，该装置涉及飞行时间质谱，该质谱将被配置和优化用于检测高度振动激发的氧反应物物种的化学反应产物。 该项目的成果将增进人们对平流层中存在的分子氧的化学和物理特性的了解，并加深对影响平流层臭氧浓度的因素的了解。 * ATM-9633002

9633002 Wodtke This project will investigate the fate of highly vibrationally excited molecular oxygen under conditions which are intended to simulate those occurring in the upper stratosphere. The goal of the project is to further understand ozone formation and destruction processes in this region, in particular, the hypothesized formation of ozone from the reaction of highly vibrationally excited (v 26) oxygen with other oxygen molecules. Through a series of laboratory experiments, the PI will investigate reaction processes that lead to stratospheric ozone formation. The PI will construct a new experimental apparatus that involves Time-of-Flight Mass Spectroscopy that will be configured and optimized for the detection of chemical reaction products of highly vibrationally excited oxygen reactant species. Results from the project will advance what is known concerning the chemical and physical properties of molecular oxygen present in the stratosphere, and provide increased understanding of factors influencing stratospheric ozone concentrations. *** ATM-9633002
