abstract = {The tracer- tracer correlation technique ( TRAC) has been
widely employed to infer chemical ozone loss from
observations. Yet, its applicability to chemistry- climate
model ( CCM) data is disputed. Here, we report the
successful application of TRAC on the results of a CCM
simulation. By comparing TRAC- calculated ozone loss to
ozone loss derived with the passive ozone method in a
chemistry transport model we differentiate effects of
internal mixing and cross vortex boundary mixing on a TRAC
reference correlation. As a test case, we consider results
of a cold Arctic winter/ spring episode from an E39/ C
experiment, where typical features, for example, sufficient
polar stratospheric cloud formation potential,
denitrification and dehydration, and intermittent and final
stratospheric warming events, are simulated. We find that
internal mixing does not impact the TRAC- derived reference
correlation at all. Mixing across the vortex boundary would
lead to an underestimation of ozone loss by similar to
$10\%$ when calculated with TRAC. We provide arguments that
TRAC is a consistent and conservative method to derive
chemical ozone loss and can be used to extract its chemical
signature also from CCM simulations. As a consequence, we
will be able to provide a lower bound for chemical ozone
loss for model simulations where a passive ozone tracer is
not available.},
