Abstract
Analysis of experimental ozone absorption spectra reveals that ultraviolet photolysis within the structured Huggins band yields extraordinary wavelength-dependent isotopic fractionation, oscillating between complete enrichment and complete depletion for changes of less than 2 nm in the excitation wavelength. Visible photolysis yields wavelength-dependent fractionation that varies from −300‰ to +300‰. Photochemical modeling demonstrates photolysis contributes fractionation up to +45‰ to the heavy ozone anomaly in the middle stratosphere with measurable ^(17)O and ^(18)O isotopologue-dependent variations as a function of altitude despite the fact that the extraordinary photolysis-induced isotopic fractionation effect is dampened in the atmosphere due to the integration over all excitation wavelengths.
