abstract = {We investigated chemical and microphysical processes in the
late winter in the Antarctic lower stratosphere, after the
first chlorine activation and initial ozone depletion. We
focused on a time interval when both further chlorine
activation and ozone loss, but also chlorine deactivation,
occur.We performed a comprehensive Lagrangian analysis to
simulate the evolution of an air mass along a 10-day
trajectory, coupling a detailed microphysical box model to a
chemistry model. Model results have been compared with in
situ and remote sensing measurements of particles and ozone
at the start and end points of the trajectory, and satellite
measurements of key chemical species and clouds along
it.Different model runs have been performed to understand
the relative role of solid and liquid polar stratospheric
cloud (PSC) particles for the heterogeneous chemistry, and
for the denitrification caused by particle sedimentation.
According to model results, under the conditions
investigated, ozone depletion is not affected significantly
by the presence of nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) particles,
as the observed depletion rate can equally well be
reproduced by heterogeneous chemistry on cold liquid
aerosol, with a surface area density close to background
values.Under the conditions investigated, the impact of
denitrification is important for the abundances of chlorine
reservoirs after PSC evaporation, thus stressing the need to
use appropriate microphysical models in the simulation of
chlorine deactivation. We found that the effect of particle
sedimentation and denitrification on the amount of ozone
depletion is rather small in the case investigated. In the
first part of the analyzed period, when a PSC was present in
the air mass, sedimentation led to a smaller available
particle surface area and less chlorine activation, and thus
less ozone depletion. After the PSC evaporation, in the last
3 days of the simulation, denitrification increases ozone
loss by hampering chlorine deactivation.},
