abstract = {High-resolution simulations of the chemical composition of
the Arctic stratosphere during late spring 1997 and 2000
were performed with the Chemical Lagrangian Model of the
Stratosphere (CLaMS). The simulations were performed for the
entire northern hemisphere on two isentropic levels 450K
(approximate to18 km) and 585 K (approximate to24 km).The
spatial distribution and the lifetime of the vortex remnants
formed after the vortex breakup in May 1997 display
different behavior above and below 20 km. Above 20 km,
vortex remnants propagate southward (up to 40degreesN) and
are "frozen in" in the summer circulation without
significant mixing. Below 20 km the southward propagation of
the remnants is bounded by the subtropical jet. Their
lifetime is shorter by a factor of 2 than that above 20 km,
owing to significant stirring below this altitude. The
behavior of vortex remnants formed in March 2000 is similar
but, due to an earlier vortex breakup, dominated during the
first 6 weeks after the vortex breakup by westerly winds,
even above 20 km.Vortex remnants formed in May 1997 are
characterized by large mixing ratios of HCl indicating
negligible, halogen-induced ozone loss. In contrast,
mid-latitude ozone loss in late boreal spring 2000 is
dominated, until mid-April, by halogen-induced ozone
destruction within the vortex remnants, and subsequent
transport of the ozone-depleted polar air masses (dilution)
into the mid-latitudes. By varying the intensity of mixing
in CLaMS, the impact of mixing on the formation of ClONO2
and ozone depletion is investigated. We find that the
photochemical decomposition of HNO3 and not mixing with
NOx-rich mid-latitude air is the main source of NOx within
the vortex remnants in March and April 2000. Ozone depletion
in the remnants is driven by ClOx photolytically formed from
ClONO2. At the end of May 1997, the halogen-induced ozone
deficit at 450 K poleward of 30degreesN amounts to
approximate $to12\%$ with approximate $to10\%$ in the polar
vortex and approximate $to2\%$ in well-isolated vortex
remnants after the vortex breakup.},
