Impact of chlorine ion chemistry on ozone loss in the middle atmosphere during very large solar proton events

<p>Solar coronal mass ejections can accelerate charged particles, mostly protons, to high energies, causing solar proton events (SPEs). Such energetic particles can precipitate upon the Earth's atmosphere, mostly in polar regions because of geomagnetic shielding. Here, SPE-induced chlorin...
