“…Although more localized, inorganic bromine emissions have also been identified over salt lakes (Hebestreit et al, 1999), in the marine boundary layer (Leser et al, 2003;SaizLopez et al, 2004;Read et al, 2008) and in volcanic plumes (Bobrowski et al, 2003;Oppenheimer et al, 2006;Theys et al, 2009a). Observations from space (e.g., Richter et al, 2002;Van Roozendael et al, 2002), ground-based Theys et al, 2007) and balloon-borne (Harder et al, 1998;Fitzenberger et al, 2000) instruments have shown that inorganic bromine may be produced and sustained in the free troposphere at the global scale.…”
