  2. Ozone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone

    4, were also present in ozone samples due to the difficulty of applying analytical chemistry techniques to the explosive concentrated chemical. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] In 1923, Georg-Maria Schwab (working for his doctoral thesis under Ernst Hermann Riesenfeld ) was the first to successfully solidify ozone and perform accurate analysis which conclusively ...

  3. Ground-level ozone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-level_ozone

    The IPCC believes that "measured stratospheric O3 losses over the past two decades have generated a negative forcing of the surface-troposphere system" of around 0.15 0.10 watts per square metre (W/m 2). [39] Furthermore, rising air temperatures often improve ozone-forming processes, which has a repercussion on climate, as well.

  4. Ozone–oxygen cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone–oxygen_cycle

    In 1930 Sydney Chapman resolved the chemistry involved. The process is commonly called the Chapman cycle by atmospheric scientists. Most of the ozone production occurs in the tropical upper stratosphere and mesosphere. The total mass of ozone produced per day over the globe is about 400 million metric tons.

  5. Tropospheric ozone depletion events - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropospheric_ozone...

    Ozone in the troposhere is determined by photochemical production and destruction, dry deposition and cross-tropopause transport of ozone from the stratosphere. [2] In the Arctic troposphere, transport and photochemical reactions involving nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a result of human emissions also produce ozone resulting in a background mixing ratio of 30 to 50 ...

  6. Leighton relationship - Wikipedia

    [2]: pg. 22 Computer models of atmospheric chemistry utilize the Leighton relationship to minimize complexity by deducing the concentration of one of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and nitric oxide when the concentrations of the other two are known.

  7. Oxygen reduction reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_reduction_reaction

    In chemistry, the oxygen reduction reaction refers to the reduction half reaction whereby O 2 is reduced to water or hydrogen peroxide. In fuel cells, the reduction to water is preferred because the current is higher. The oxygen reduction reaction is well demonstrated and highly efficient in nature. [1] [2]

  8. Cyclic ozone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_ozone

    Cyclic ozone is a theoretically predicted form of ozone.Like ordinary ozone (O 3), it would have three oxygen atoms. It would differ from ordinary ozone in how those three oxygen atoms are arranged.

  9. Null cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_cycle

    In atmospheric chemistry, a null cycle is a catalytic cycle that simply interconverts chemical species without leading to net production or removal of any component. [1] In the stratosphere, null cycles and when the null cycles are broken are very important to the ozone layer.
