abstract = {Current stratospheric chemical model simulations
underestimate substantially the large ozone loss rates that
are derived for the Arctic from ozone sondes for January of
some years. Until now, no explanation for this discrepancy
has been found. Here, we examine the influence of intrusions
of mid-latitude air into the polar vortex on these ozone
loss estimates. This study focuses on the winter 1991/92,
because during this winter the discrepancy between simulated
and experimentally derived ozone loss rates is reported to
be the largest. Also during the considered period the vortex
was disturbed by a strong warming event with large-scale
intrusions of mid-latitude air into the polar vortex, which
is quite unusual for this time of the year. The study is
based on simulations performed with the Chemical Lagrangian
Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS). Two methods for
determination the ozone loss are investigated, the so-called
vortex average approach and the Match method. The
simulations for January 1992 show that the intrusions induce
a reduction of vortex average ozone mixing ratio
corresponding to a systematic offset of the ozone loss rate
of about 12 ppb per day. This should be corrected for in the
vortex average method. The simulations further suggest, that
these intrusions do not cause a significant bias for the
Match method due to effective quality control measures in
the Match technique.},
