abstract = {[1] The development of tracer-tracer relations in the polar
stratosphere is analyzed during the period when the vortex
forms and a westerly circulation develops after polar summer
(the setup phase of the polar vortex). We consider high
southern latitudes from March to June for winter 1997 and
2003 and high northern latitudes from September to October
2003. ILAS and ILAS-II satellite observations and model
simulations are used to investigate chemical changes in O-3,
NO2 and HNO3 during these periods. Tracer-tracer relations
and meteorological analyses consistently indicate a
separation of the incipient polar vortex into two parts. The
area within the edge of the inner vortex is isolated from
the outer part that is still influenced by mixing with air
of midlatitude origin. In the Antarctic in April, ozone
concentrations vary by about 0.5 ppmv within the isolated
inner vortex between 500 and 600 K potential temperature.
This inhomogeneous distribution of ozone is likewise obvious
in MIPAS satellite measurements. Box model simulations
explain that the low ozone concentrations in April are
caused by chemical ozone loss due to catalytic cycles which
are mainly driven by NOx at this time of the year. The
simulations also explain the observed conversion of NOx to
HNO3 during the setup phase of the 2003 Antarctic vortex.
During June in the Antarctic, the internal vortex transport
barrier disappears and ozone mixing ratios become
homogeneous throughout the entire vortex. At that time, no
further ozone loss occurs because of the lack of sunlight.},
