Oceanic emissions of iodine destroy ozone, modify oxidative capacity, and can form new
particles in the troposphere. However, the impact of iodine in the stratosphere is highly …

Iodine is an atmospheric trace element emitted from oceans that efficiently destroys ozone
(O3). Low O3 in airborne dust layers is frequently observed but poorly understood. We show …

Absorption attributable to atmospheric IO is observed in high‐resolution, high air mass solar
spectra taken at the National Solar Observatory, Kitt Peak, Arizona, in March 1995. These …

Atmospheric iodine monoxide (IO) is a radical that catalytically destroys heat trapping ozone
and reacts further to form aerosols. Here, we report the detection of IO in the tropical free …

Iodine is an important nutrient and a significant sink of tropospheric ozone, a climate-forcing
gas and air pollutant. Ozone interacts with seawater iodide, leading to volatile inorganic …

A new analysis of tropospheric iodine chemistry suggests that under certain conditions this
chemistry could have a significant impact on the rate of destruction of tropospheric ozone. In …

It has been suggested that iodine oxides, IOx, could play a significant role in the ozone
destruction in the lower stratosphere. To investigate this suggestion, spectra from nine SAOZ …

Naturally occurring bromine-and iodine-containing compounds substantially reduce
regional, and possibly even global, tropospheric ozone levels,,,. As such, these halogen …

Naturally emitted from the oceans, iodine compounds efficiently destroy atmospheric ozone
and reduce its positive radiative forcing effects in the troposphere. Emissions of inorganic …

We present a global simulation of tropospheric iodine chemistry within the GEOS-Chem
chemical transport model. This includes organic and inorganic iodine sources, standard gas …
