| Abstract | This paper discuss temporal variations of BrONO2, the nighttime main reservoir of Bry, in the polar and mid-latitude stratospheres. They clearly showed different behaviors of BrONO2 in nighttime: the amounts of BrONO2 revealed more than 20 pptv in the absence of PSCs and less than 14 pptv in the presence of PSCs. These values were well reproduced by CTM for which the averaging kernel matrix of MIPAS-B was applied. Thus, temporal behaviors of BrONO2 during sunset/sunrise are thought to be understood by conventional chemical reactions involving radicals such as ClOx etc. With this knowledge, they estimated the amount of Bry to be 21-25 pptv in the lower stratosphere. I would suggest that this paper should be published in ACP; however, some messages to the reader would be desired or clarified before the acceptance of |
