Chemical Model Animation of Chlorine Release from Reservoir Gases over Antarctica
Over the Antarctic continent, ice clouds form in the cold winter darkness. On the surface of the cloud particles, chlorine nitrate and hydrogen chloride react and release chlorine. The chlorine then reacts with ozone forming chlorine monoxide and starting the catalytic ozone destruction cycle. The massive ozone loss results in the development of the Antarctic ozone hole.

*Please note: the SVS does not fulfill requests for copies of the tapes in our library. On some of our animation pages, there is a direct link to a video distribution service from which tapes, handled by the Public Affairs Office (PAO)/Goddard TV, including some of our animations may be ordered. General information on this service can be found here.
