Stratospheric ozone depletion inside the volcanic plume shortly after the 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption

Abstract ∼ ∼ ∼ x and ClOx cycles and their interactions. Aside from the gas-phase chemistry, the heterogeneous reaction rate for HOCl + → 2  + 2 O increases to 104  cm- 3 - 1 + 2 is more important. The large water injection causes relative humidity over ice to increase to 70 %–100 %, decreases the H2 SO4  /2 O binary solution weight percent to 35 % compared with the 70 % ambient value, and decreases the plume temperature by 2–6 K. These changes lead to high heterogeneous reaction rates. Plume lofting of ozone-poor air is evident during the first 2 d after the eruption, but ozone concentrations quickly recover because its chemical lifetime is short at 20 hPa. With such a large seawater injection, we expect that ∼ ∼ x changes are probably not the reason for the HTHH initial in-plume O3 loss.
