- Ocean-emitted short-lived halogens are common in the atmosphere, and their natural emissions have increased due to human activities since pre-industrial times, along with added human-made halocarbons.
- These halogens have a significant indirect cooling effect on Earth's radiative balance, calculated at about -0.13 watts per square meter, influenced primarily by their effects on ozone and moderated by methane and aerosols.
- This cooling effect has risen by 61% since 1750 and is expected to change by 18-31% by 2100, highlighting the need to include short-lived halogens in climate models for better predictions of the climate system.
The room-temperature rate constants and product branching fractions of CaO ( = 0-3) + O are measured using a selected ion flow tube apparatus. Ca + O produces CaO + O with = 9 ± 4 × 10 cm s, within uncertainty equal to the Langevin capture rate constant. This value is significantly larger than several literature values.
