| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have analyzed ISS/JEM/SMILES and SCISAT-1/ACE-FTS data to discuss the relationship between temperature and stratospheric minor gases related to ozone depletion in the Arctic winter of 2009/2010. From mid-January to early February, SMILES ClO concentrations were higher than 0.5 ppbv at equivalent latitudes higher than 70° and solar zenith angles lower than 96°, where the temperatures were well lower than 200 K. HCl and ClONO2 decreased and ClO increased in mid-January. In the end of January, ClO started to decrease and HCl and ClONO2 increased at the same time. We have compared Cly values calculated based on N2O concentration from ACE-FTS (Cly-calc.) with Cly values derived by the sum of ClO, HCl, HOCl, and ClONO2 (Cly-obs.). The Cly-obs. values drastically decreased lower than the Cly-calc. at equivalent latitudes higher than 70° in January. This suggests the occurrence of ClO dimmer there that could not be observed by ACE-FTS and SMILES.
