Abstract
Calculations with a chemical box model along air parcel trajectories b etween November 1991 to January 1992 show a build up of reactive chlor ine in late December and early January, culminating in values of ClO(X ) greater than 2.0 ppbv widespread in the vortex on 9 January 1992. Th ese values are quantitatively comparable to the MLS satellite measurem ents of ClO. We discuss the chemistry occurring within the vortex, aro und the vortex edge and outside the vortex.
