COMMENTS: IUPAC(2008) recommendation:

There is very good agreement between the cross sections presented in the studies of

J.N. Crowley, F. Helleis, R. Müller, G.K. Moortgat, P.J. Crutzen, and J.J. Orlando, "CH3OCl: UV/visible absorption cross sections, J values and atmospheric significance," J. Geophys. Res. 99(D10), 20683-20688 (1994); DOI: 10.1029/94JD01829, and

T.P.W. Jungkamp, U. Kirchner, M. Schmidt, and R.N. Schindler, "UV-absorption cross section data for the hypochlorites ROCl (R = H, CH3, C2H5, i-C3H7, t-C4H9)," J. Photochem. Photobiol. 91, 1-6 (1995); DOI: 10.1016/1010-6030(95)04074-P,

for λ ≥ 260 nm, though some differences are observed at the short wavelength end of the spectra.
The data of Crowley et al., which cover a larger wavelength range and extent further into the actinic region, are preferred
