Abstract
Hydrogen bromide (HBr) is the principal bromine sink species for the ozone loss chemistry induced by bromine‐containing gases in the stratosphere. We report a 1994 balloon‐based measurement of the daytime stratospheric HBr profile between 20 and 36.5 km altitude. The average concentration result of 1.31±0.39 parts per trillion in volume (pptv) and an analysis for the concentration versus altitude profile are consistent with previously reported measurements. These results strengthen the evidence for a significantly higher HBr concentration than that predicted by current photochemical models which, on the basis of recent kinetics results, do not include significant HBr production by the reaction branch, BrO + HO2 → HBr + O3.
