Dynamics study of the atmospheric reaction involving vibrationally excited O(3) with OH.

We investigate the title atmospheric reaction of highly excited O(3) with vibrationally cold OH. Particular attention will be paid to initial vibrational energies of O(3) between 9 and 21 kcal mol(-1). The calculations employ the quasiclassical trajectory method and the realistic double many-body expansion potential energy surface for HO(4)((2)A). Many aspects of the title process are presented. It is found that it may not be possible to ignore this process when studying the stratospheric ozone budget.
