TThe main purpose of this proposal is to perform observations of halogenated hydrocarbons and SF6 during the SOUTHTRAC campaign. SF6 is a tracer which can be used to derive mean transit times (mean age). The measurements will be performed with the in-situ gas chromatograph GHOST-MS on board HALO, which has been successfully deployed during previous HALO missions. The measurements will be used to investigate the following two work packages, which will both be addressed by a PhD student: main questions: WP1: mean age and age spectra of the Southern Hemisphere? What is the distribution of mean age in the SH UTLS? Is it different from the Northern Hemisphere distribution and which conclusions on stratosphere-troposphere-exchange can be drawn from this?What do transit time distributions derived from the observation of short-lived substances look like? How do these age spectra compare to modelled age spectra? Is there an interhemispheric difference?WP2: chlorine and bromine budget of the Southern HemisphereHow does the distribution of short lived substances differ between the two hemispheres? How well do the distributions agree with model calculations using different emission scenarios? What is the halogen budget of the Southern Hemisphere UTLS for both chlorine and bromine? How does it compare to the Northern Hemisphere? Which implications can this have for ozone depletion?

该提案的主要目的是在SouthTrac运动期间对卤素和SF6进行观察。 SF6是一种示踪剂，可用于得出平均运输时间（平均年龄）。测量结果将使用Halo上的原位气相色谱Ghost-MS进行，该镜头已在先前的Halo任务中成功部署。 测量结果将用于调查以下两个工作包，这两个工作包将由博士生：主要问题：WP1：南半球的平均年龄和年龄光谱？ SH UTLS中平均年龄的分布是多少？它与北半球的分布有所不同，以及可以从中得出的平流层 - 对流层交换的哪些结论？从对短寿命物质的观察到什么样的过境时间分布是什么样的？这些年龄光谱与建模的年龄光谱相比如何？是否存在半球间差异？WP2：南半球的氯和溴预算，两个半球之间短寿命物质的分布有所不同吗？使用不同的排放方案与模型计算的分布程度如何？氯和溴的南半球UTL的卤素预算是多少？与北半球相比如何？这对臭氧耗竭有哪些含义？
