Summary
Tropospheric ozone plays an important part in the Earth's global energy balance due to its greenhouse gas properties and role in the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere. Therefore, the ozone loss in the Arctic boundary layer has been of great interest since it was reported in the 1980s. This depletion is due to reactions with halogens such as bromine, iodine, and chlorine. The snowpack is confirmed to be a source of these halogens. While research has been done on the effects of halogens on ozone, not much research has been done into the effects of turbulence on these halogens. The objectives of this study are to 1) assess the chemical impact of the halogens released from the snowpack on Arctic boundary layer ozone, 2) determine the relative importance of turbulence on halogens on Arctic ozone depletion for cases in the 2012 BROMEX campaign and 3) implement the dynamic and chemical mechanisms for turbulence in the Arctic boundary layer into a numerical model.
