abstract = {Tracer-tracer relations have been used for a long time to
separate physico-chemical change from change caused by
transport processes. In particular, for more than a decade,
ozone-tracer relations have been used to quantify chemical
ozone loss in the polar vortex. The application of
ozone-tracer relations for quantifying ozone loss relies on
two hypotheses: that a compact ozone-tracer relation is
established in the 'early' polar vortex and that any change
of the ozone-tracer relation in the vortex over the course
of winter is caused predominantly by chemical ozone loss.
Here, we revisit this issue by analysing various sets of
measurements and the results from several models. We find
that mixing across the polar vortex edge impacts
ozone-tracer relations in a way that may solely lead to an
'underestimation' of chemical ozone loss and not to an
overestimation. Further, differential descent in the vortex
and internal mixing has only a negligible impact on ozone
loss estimates. Moreover, the representation of mixing in
three-dimensional atmospheric models can have a substantial
impact on the development of tracer relations in the model.
Rather compact ozone-tracer relations develop - in agreement
with observations in the vortex of a Lagrangian model
(CLaMS) where mixing is anisotropic and driven by the
deformation of the flow. We conclude that, if a reliable
'early vortex' reference can be obtained and if vortex
measurements are separated from mid-latitude measurements,
ozone-tracer relations constitute a reliable tool for the
quantitative determination of chemical ozone loss in the
polar vortex.},
