Abstract:

The first observational dataset of vertically resolved global stratospheric BrONO2 distributions from July 2002 until April 2012, compared to results of the atmospheric chemical climate model EMAC. The retrieved distributions are based on space-borne measurements of infrared limb-emission spectra recorded by the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) on Envisat. The derived vertical profiles of BrONO2 volume mixing ratios represent 10 deg latitude bins and three-day means, separated into sunlit and observations in the dark. The estimated uncertainties are around 1–4 pptv caused by spectral noise for single profiles as well as for further parameter and systematic errors which may not improve by averaging. Vertical resolutions range from 3 to 8 km between 15 and 35 km altitude.
