  6. UV-visible sensors at BAS sites 1 1. SAOZ at Rothera:

  7. UV-visible sensors at BAS sites 1 Total vertical NO2 in Antarctic summer - the 24-hour sunlight means there is no N2O5 - so no hydrolysis of N2O5 on stratospheric aerosol - so NOy / NO2 is much less dependent on background aerosol (between volcanoes) NOycalculated from the NO2 by SLIMCAT stacked box model - the model is unreliable in 1991& 1992, due to Pinatubo aerosol - the NOy/NO2 ratio is robust to model settings • little overall trend • large inter-annual variability • maximum in 2000/2001

  8. UV-visible sensors at BAS sites 1 Multiple regression of NOyvs solar, QBO, ENSO & linear-trend (Cook & Roscoe 2009) Reconstruction accounts for >1/3 of the variance - accounts for ~1/3 of the maximum in 2000/01 - reconstructions are offset by arbitrary amounts - residuals show a cycle amplitude > 15% period > 17 years Remaining linear trend = 1.1  3.5 %/decade

  9. UV-visible sensors at BAS sites 1 Box model of Brewer Dobson circulation (Cook & Roscoe 2012) Analytic solution in steady state: with N2O source, slowing BDC by 40% increases NOy by 39% (ratio =1.03) Trend in speed of BDC = –(NOy trend –tropN2O trend + N2OreactionRate trend) x1.03 = – (+1.1 ± 3.5 – 2.5 + 2.5) x 1.03 %/decade = –1.1 ± 3.5 %/decade (1-sigma)

  23. UV-visible sensors at BAS sites 1 2. MAX-DOAS at Halley - troposphericBrO and IO Udo comment at ACPD: From our experience, scattered light measurements by an Ocean Optics 2000 spectrometer in a MiniDOAS setup results in residual structures with an RMS of at least 5 x 10-4. The peak cross section of IO amounts to about 3 x 1017cm2molec-1, resulting in a detection limit for the IO slant column of approximately 2 x 1013molec cm-2. With an AMF of about 16 for elevation angles of 2 and 90deg for measurement and reference respectively, the detection limit is only just below the observed VCD values after mid September of 1.5 x 1012molec cm-2.

  29. UV-visible sensors at BAS sites 1 3. SAOZ spare to Halley (76S) BAS funding cuts now and further cuts expected are such that we are planning now for when we cannot man the Dobson at Halley over winter. A SAOZ will measure ozone almost as well as the Dobson - except in summer (SZA too small at midnight at 76S) - except in winter (nothing to replace lunar Dobson) - needs AMF research to finish the work of Sarkissian (for 3 DU accuracy in Antarctic spring) A spare will go his December, run in parallel with the Dobson

  30. UV-visible sensors at BAS sites 1 SAOZ at Rothera (67S): · stratospheric O3 and NO2 since 1990 - O3 used to determine of ozone hole is recovering (Kuttippurath et al) - NO2 used to infer trend in Brewer Dobson circulation (Cook & Roscoe) · 1-year overlap with replacement instrument in 2007 - 1% rms difference in O3, 5% max - 10% difference in NO2, needs more investigation · analysis update should start in 2012 MAX-DOAS at Halley (76S): · troposphericBrO and IO in 2007 (Halley), 2009 (Weddell), 2010 (Rothera), 2011 (Dome C), 2012 to present (Halley) - paper on BrO in 2007 about to be submitted to AMT (Roscoe et al) - paper including IO in 2009 submitted to ACP (Atkinson et al) · spectrometer replaced by Avantes (indoors in fridge) in 2012 - good test results in Cambridge before leaving - but frequent software crashes at Halley despite separate USBs Spare SAOZ to Halley (76S).
