This article reports on aircraft based measurements of column OClO densities over the arctic region, both inside and outside the polar vortex between December 1991, and March 1992. The largest amounts were always observed near the vortex interior. This molecule is conceived as a product of photochemical reactions of ClO and BrO, leading to ozone destruction.
