Modeling the observed tropospheric BrO background: Importance of multiphase chemistry and implications for ozone, OH, and mercury
Aircraft and satellite observations indicate the presence of ppt (ppt ≡ pmol/mol) levels of BrO in the free troposphere with important implications for the tropospheric budgets of ozone, OH, and mercury. We can reproduce these observations with the GEOS-Chem global tropospheric chemistry model by including a broader consideration of multiphase halogen (Br-Cl) chemistry than has been done in the...
متن کاملActive and widespread halogen chemistry in the tropical and subtropical free troposphere.
Halogens in the troposphere are increasingly recognized as playing an important role for atmospheric chemistry, and possibly climate. Bromine and iodine react catalytically to destroy ozone (O3), oxidize mercury, and modify oxidative capacity that is relevant for the lifetime of greenhouse gases. Most of the tropospheric O3 and methane (CH4) loss occurs at tropical latitudes. Here we report sim...
متن کاملDistinction between clouds and ice/snow covered surfaces in the identification of cloud-free observations using SCIAMACHY PMDs
SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT allows measurement of different trace gases including those most abundant in the troposphere (e.g. CO2, NO2, CH4, BrO, SO2). However, clouds in the observed scenes can severely hinder the observation of tropospheric gases. Several cloud detection algorithms have been developed for GOME on ERS-2 which can be applied to SCIAMACHY. The GOME cloud algorithms, however, suffer fr...
متن کاملTOTAL AND TROPOSPHERIC BrO DERIVED FROM GOME AND SCIAMACHY AS PART OF THE TEMIS PROJECT
Bromine monoxide plays an important role in the chemistry of the polar atmosphere because of its high efficiency as a catalyst of the ozone destruction in both the stratosphere and the troposphere. In the polar boundary layer, large cyclic emissions are observed every year at spring (the so-called "bromine explosion" phenomenon), which are responsible for the occurrence of fast and efficient tr...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Bromine Oxide Product from Gome
Bromine monoxide (BrO) is an atmospheric constituent playing an important role in the chemistry of both the stratosphere and the troposphere. Recent studies have demonstrated that BrO total columns can be retrieved on a global scale by analysis of backscattered solar spectra measured by the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME), aboard the ERS-2 satellite since April 1995. The data analysis...
