Active bromine released from the photochemical decomposition of biogenic very short-lived bromocarbons (VSL_Br ) enhances stratospheric ozone depletion. Based on a dual set of 1960-2100 coupled chemistry-climate simulations (i.e. with and without VSL Br ), we show that the maximum Antarctic ozone ho...
