Abstract
A procedure is suggested for the evaluation of the reaction constantK of the destruction of atmospheric ozone at the earth's surface. The method is applicable when the ozone profile on one hand, and the wind speed at a fixed level on the other hand, are measured simultaneously; a logarithmic wind profile is assumed. An application of this method to some of the ozone profiles recently published by Tiefenau and Fabian leads toK ∼ 0.1 cm/sec at the surface of the ocean. This value, if confirmed by measurements at other locations, would require an upward revision of current estimates of the global flux of atmospheric ozone into the earth.
