Chapman ozone equilibrium
= Chapman ozone equilibrium
{c}
The Chapman ozone mechanism combines oxygen photodissociation, three-body ozone formation, ozone photodissociation, and the reaction between atomic oxygen and ozone. Under local steady state and dominant photolytic ozone loss,

[{\rm O}_3]\simeq[{\rm O}_2]
\left(\frac{K_2J_1[{\rm M}]}{K_4J_3}\right)^{1/2}.
