Whole air samples (WAS) taken from BAE L SilcoSteel canisters evacuated and filled to ~30-40psi 620 samples analysed by GC-DCFID for NMHC and DMS 667 samples analysed by GC-MS for DMS and halogenated VSLS Calibration scales: NMHC on NPL/GAW scale DMS from primary KRISS standard Halocarbons on NOAA scale Intercalibration: WAS (BAE-146), AWAS (GV/GH) and TOGA (GV) inter-calibrated using NOAA standard cylinder and a Miami Essex cylinder standard CAST VOC observations- sampling and calibration

CAST VOC observations- WAS sampling region

CAST VOC observations – air mass characteristics In general, air masses appeared well-processed and representative of background. At source the ratio of toluene/benzene would be approximately 4.0

CAST VOC observations – CAST WAS sample spatial distribution No unusual concentrations in dataset Aimed to capture variation in surface concentration at maximum range Sample full vertical profile up to operational ceiling (~8 km)

CAST VOC observations acetylene (marker for anthropogenic pollution): fairly even distribution with perhaps decreased levels to the south and east and enhancements around Palau Concentrations compare well between platforms

CAST VOC observations – dimethyl sulphide (DMS) DMS highly variable due to short lifetime (~1day) and production mechanism DMS well characterised between CAST WAS instruments Compares well in vertical profile to AWAS (GV/GH)

CAST VOC observations - iodocarbons Iodocarbons quantified including CH 3 I, CH 2 ICl and CH 2 I 2 CH 2 I 2 mostly below limit of detection (LOD) CH 2 ICl mainly below 2 km Rapid photolysis in MBL/FT

CAST VOC observations – combined vertical profiles Combined WAS/AWAS dataset provides a balanced distribution of data throughout the vertical profile

CAST VOC observations - combined vertical profiles Some species show slight concentration offset which may get resolved using inter-calibration work

CAST VOC observations Combined datasets provide a comprehensive vertical profile Parameters such as O 3, H 2 O and CO can be used to estimate the emission age/history Interception of aged, possibly entrained UTTL air at ~5-7 km

CAST VOC observations – bromoform vertical profile GeosChem output along GV and 146 flight track Over-estimates at the surface possibly vertical transport too

CAST VOC observations – Stratospheric bromine contribution GeosChem modelled profile reproduces vertical structure fairly well CH 2 Br 2 and CHBr 3 contribute around 2-4 ppt to upper TTL as SG

CAST VOC observations – Anthropogenic influences? CH 2 Cl 2 concentrations are increasing globally Very clear correlation between CHCl 3 and CH 2 Cl 2 and correlation with anthropogenic tracers CH 2 Cl 2 ~70% industrial source ~20% oceanic CHCl 3 ~15% industrial source ~50% oceanic ~35% soil TORERO

SHIVA Stratospheric Ozone: Halogen Impacts in a Varying Atmosphere Nov-Dec 2011 Sala, S. et al Deriving an atmospheric budget of total organic bromine using airborne in situ measurements from the western Pacific area during SHIVA, ACP CAST VOC observations – SHIVA comparison CH 2 Br 2 CHBr 3

Model Developments for VSLS During CAST Robyn Butler Paul Palmer and Liang Principal modelling tool - GEOS-Chem – CAST & CONTRAST measurements used to evaluate VSLS chemistry and transport – Potential problem with oceanic fluxes of VSLS – positive model bias – Tracer:tracer ratio plots will be used to understand chemistry & transport over the region Tagged-VSLS Model Simulation to understand the role of different geographical emissions of VSLS – To be used in conjunction with inversion modelling to better estimate emission fluxes – Air-sea flux formulation will be used to better represent seasonal & daily flux variations of VSLS emissions =Method to calculate the physical age of recent emissions over the region
