22 SUMMARY LONGER AND SHORTER LIVED SPECIES Mixing ratios of longer lived species change by less than 10%, while the mixing ratios of shorter lived species change around 70 to 75 % in the TTL ORGANIC BROMINE BUDGET Total organic bromine for ATTREX 2013 range between 19.5± 1.4 and 18.3 ± 1.2 pmol of Br/mol for potential temperature ranges of 350-370 and 375-395 K respectively. This value is also in similar to that found in previous campaigns However, contributions of SLS to the total organic bromine budget are slightly higher during ATTREX 2013. Delivery of 4.8 ±0.7 pmol/mol of organic bromine to the base of the TTL is estimated. Further analysis is needed. NATURAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC SPECIES Overall distributions reflect emission sources and lifetimes. Origins of higher concentration features will be diagnosed with trajectory analysis and other tracer correlations. 22
