abstract = {On 11$^{th}$ February, 1997, the TRIPLE balloon was
launched in Kiruna, Northern Sweden. It ascended into the
lower stratosphere, reached a maximum altitude of 24.1 km
and landed in Northern Finland after a 2.5-hour flight.
Thanks to advantageous meteorological conditions the balloon
passed through the edge region of the polar vortex.
Moreover, the data of the TRIPLE flight show that on that
day a wave event occurred. The edge region of the polar
vortex is of interest because the phenomenon of the polar
vortex is closely related to the springtime ozone loss, also
known as the ozone hole. Under certain circumstances, the
air inside the vortex is forced to remain under polar night
conditions for a period of months. Due to the low
temperatures reactive chlorine compounds are formed. After
the return of sunlight in springtime especially the ClO
radical acts as a catalyst of massive ozone depletion. The
stability of the polar vortex and the action of the vortex
edge as a transport barrier are decisive factors for the
extent of ozone depletion. On the gondola of the TRIPLE
balloon several instruments were mounted for the measurement
of various molecules, among them the ClO/BrO instrument of
Research Centre Jülich, an ozone sounding device from the
University of Wyoming and the BONBON cryosampler from Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main.
Consequently it was possible to simultaneously observe the
wave event and its consequences for the chemistry in the air
masses in question. The measured ClO profile thus acted as
an indicator of the lowest temperature experienced by the
respective air parcel during the event. As the most probable
simultaneous explanation for the observed ClO, temperature
and pressure profiles a wave standing perpendicular to the
earth’s surface is suggested. Chemistry and transport
calculations by means of the Chemical Lagrangian Model of
the Stratosphere (CLaMS) support this assumption. A
theoretical examination shows that such an event can cause
horizontal mixing processes. Indeed, the ozone profile
measured on the TRIPLE gondola provides indications of an
intrusion of ozone-rich air masses originating from the
outer vortex edge area or even from outside the polar
vortex. This assumption was verified by the tracer-tracer
method utilizing the N2O profile of the BONBON cryosampler.
Besides these theoretical examinations and considerations,
this work also contains a practical part. The working
principle of the ClO/BrO instrument, the Chemical Conversion
and Resonance Fluorescence (CCRF) method, is explained. The
calibration of the instrument and difficulties in measuring
BrO by the CCRF method are discussed. Moreover, studies are
presented relating to the development of the HALOX aircraft
instrument , a modified version of the balloon instrument
which has been operated since the end of 2001 on board the
Russian high-altitude research aircraft "Geophysica".},
