Abstract

The UV/visible absorption spectrum of CH₃OCl has been measured at wavelengths between 200 and 460 nm and used to calculate photodissociation lifetimes in the stratosphere. At zenith angles between 80° and 90° and at a pressure of 100 mbar the lifetime with respect to photodissociation is of the order of 4 hours. The possible fate of CH₃OCl in the stratosphere is discussed and analogies are drawn with HOCl. -Authors
