We determine mixing ratio profiles for HBr and upper limits for HOBr in the stratosphere with precisions up to 1.7 and 4.8 parts per trillion, respectively, using the combined data from 7 flights of our far-infrared spectrometer. The measurements suggest that in the range 22--34 km the average mixing ratio of HBr is 2.0¿0.8, and that the average mixing ratio of HOBr is less than 2.8 ppt. Our measurements of HBr are in reasonable agreement with a photochemical model which includes 0 or 2% production of HBr through the reaction of BrO with HO2, but in strong disagreement with a model including 5 or 10% HBr production. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995 |
