Title: Observed stratospheric profiles and stratospheric lifetimes of HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b

Abstract

The authors present profile measurements of HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b in the stratosphere. The measurements show that these chemicals are not in equilibrium in the stratosphere at present, and allow inferences of stratospheric lifetimes. The lifetimes are strongly dependent upon the actual N{sub 2}O lifetime, and for an N{sub 2}O lifetime of 110y, are 68 {+-} 11y for HCFC-141b and a minimum of 138y for HCFC-142b.
