abstract = {[1] The ozone-tracer correlation method is used to deduce
the stratospheric ozone loss in the Arctic winter 1996-1997.
Improvements of the technique are applied, such as a new
calculation of the vortex edge [Nash et al., 1996] and an
improved early vortex reference function. Winter 1996-1997
is characterized by a late formation and an unusually long
lifetime of the polar vortex. Remnants of vortex air were
found until May. Chemical ozone losses deduced from two
satellite data sets, namely Improved Limb Atmospheric
Spectrometer (ILAS) and Halogen Occultation Experiment
(HALOE), are discussed. The ILAS observations allow a
detailed analysis of the temporal evolution of the
ozone-tracer correlation inside the polar vortex and, in
particular, of the development of the early vortex. For
November and December 1996, it is shown that horizontal
mixing still influences the ozone-tracer relation.
Significant PSC related chemical ozone loss occurred
beginning at mid-February, and the averaged column ozone
loss is increasing toward the middle of May. From April
onwards, ozone profiles in the vortex became more uniform.
The decrease of ozone in the vortex remnants in April and
May occurred due to chemistry. HALOE observations are
available for March to May 1997. In the period 4-16 March
1997, the calculated ozone loss deduced from HALOE and ILAS
is in good agreement. The average of the result from the two
instruments is 15 +/- 7 Dobson units (DU) inside the vortex
core, in the altitude range of 450-550 K. At the end of
March, a discrepancy between HALOE and ILAS ozone loss
arises due to a significant difference (0.6 ppmv) between
the two data sets in the relatively low ozone minimum
measured at 475 K. Nonetheless, both data sets consistently
show an inhomogeneity in ozone loss inside the vortex core
at the end of March. The vortex is separated in two parts,
one with a large ozone loss (HALOE 40-45 DU, ILAS 30-35 DU)
and one with a moderate ozone loss (HALOE 15-30 DU, ILAS
5-25 DU) for 450-550 K. The ozone loss from HALOE in 380-550
K at that time was calculated to be 90-110 DU for the large
ozone loss and 20-80 DU for the moderate ozone loss. The
vortex average of column ozone loss from HALOE inside the
vortex core at the end of March is 61 +/- 20 DU, which is an
increase of about $20\%$ compared to the earlier study by
Muller et al. [1997b] brought about by the improvement of
the technique.},
