Measurement-based modeling of bromine chemistry in the boundary layer: 1. Bromine chemistry at the Dead Sea

Abstract: Abstract. The Dead Sea is an excellent natural laboratory for the investigation of Reactive Bromine Species (RBS) chemistry, due to the high RBS levels observed in this area, combined with anthropogenic air pollutants up to several ppb. The present study investigated the basic chemical mechanism of RBS at the Dead Sea using a numerical one-dimensional chemical model. Simulations were based on data obtained from comprehensive measurements performed at sites along the Dead Sea. The simulations showed that the hi… Show more

“…1). It has been suggested several times that due to the very high bromide content and low pH of the Dead Sea water and thus of emitted sea salt aerosol particles the above explained process leads to extraordinary high BrO mixing ratios and the related ODEs (Tas et al, 2003(Tas et al, , 2005(Tas et al, , 2006. Two, very general points speak against this hypothesis (i) The wind speed over the Dead Sea is often low.…”
