Chlorine Partitioning in the Arctic Vortex During Winter 1995 Derived From Submillimeterwave Remote Sensing and in Situ Constituent Measurements

High altitude balloon flights of a combined payload of the Submillimeterwave Limb Sounder and the whole air sampler instruments were performed on 27 January 1995 and 08 March 1995. Both flights were launched from sweden as part of the Second European Stratospheric Arctic and Mid-latitude Experiment...

Description
Summary:High altitude balloon flights of a combined payload of the Submillimeterwave Limb Sounder and the whole air sampler instruments were performed on 27 January 1995 and 08 March 1995. Both flights were launched from sweden as part of the Second European Stratospheric Arctic and Mid-latitude Experiment (SESAME). Results of the first flight suggest that most of the available chlorine had been converted to CLOx in the observed air parcel, while warmer air in the second flight had much more HCl than CLOx.
