Abstract
We report a theoretical study of the title four-atom atmospheric react ion for a wide range of initial vibrational quantum numbers (upsilon', upsilon ''). All calculations have employed the quasiclassical trajec tory method, and a realistic potential energy surface obtained by usin g the double many-body expansion (DMBE) method. The implications of th e results on a recently proposed hypothesis to explain the 'ozone defi cit' problem are tentatively assessed.
