Título: | Differences in iodine chemistry over the Antarctic continent |

CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 8-nov-2023 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Polar Science 101014 (2023) | Resumen: | High concentrations of iodine oxide (IO) have been reported over west Antarctica, with areas around the Weddell Sea showing a peak in spring. However, stations in east Antarctica show much lower values during summer, although observations over spring are still missing. Here, we present the first year-long observations of IO outside the Weddell Sea region using a multi-axis differential optical absorption spectrometer (MAX-DOAS) over the Bharati station (69.41°S, 76.19°E). Observations show that iodine chemistry is less active than over the Weddell Sea, even during springtime, with IO mixing ratios below 2 pptv throughout the sunlit period. A slight increase in IO is observed in spring, although it is a factor of 10 lower than the Weddell Sea region. We identify the variations in drivers in the different regions using sea ice concentrations, sea ice thickness and chlorophyll concentrations. We use a global model which uses a parameterization for iodine emissions based on a combination of these factors. The model reproduces the high concentrations over the Weddell Sea and the low concentrations over Bharati throughout the year, shedding light on the environmental factors, sources and chemistry of iodine in Antarctica. Even at small concentrations, iodine can enhance ozone loss caused by bromine chemistry over east Antarctica, although this impact is lower than in the west Antarctic. | Descripción: | 9 pags., 7 figs. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polar.2023.101014 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/353625 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.polar.2023.101014 | ISSN: | 1873-9652 |
