25 Measurement Conclusions BrO present all along the Dead Sea Valley The BrO levels observed at the Dead Sea (~15 ppt) are higher by a factor of ~1 as compared to measurements reported for other sites Elevated BrO levels were observed both during the summer and winter BrO was also observed at a site some 5 km south of the Dead Sea with a maximum measured level around1 ppt
26 Measurement Conclusions (cont) BrO was also observed at an elevated site some 4 meter above the Dead Sea water level. Maximum concentrations recorded 6 ppt Frequency & intensity of BrO formation more pronounced towards the south (over the evaporation ponds)
27 Why are BrO levels high at the Dead Sea? High Br - concentrations in the Dead Sea waters (up to.4 µg/m 3 Br - and 12 µg/m 3 Cl - measured in aerosols) Low ph values of Dead Sea waters (between 6 and 5) Reaction of BrO with NO 2 to form HNO 3 and further lower ph (NO 3 in aerosols - avg.6 µg/m 3 ; max. 12 µg/m 3) Elevated sulfate levels (SO 4 2 µg/m 3) large surface area low ph in aerosols - avg. 1 µg/m 3 ; max.

49 CONCLUSIONS: In order to obtain compatibility with measurements at the Dead Sea, the model needs to include two heterogeneous processes: The release of Br - into the gas phase via the Bromine Explosion mechanism which occurs in sea salt aerosols. The decomposition of BrONO 2 that occurs on the surface area of sulfates aerosols. These processes, only if included together as illustrated in cycle 3b, can explain the efficient BrOx production and O 3 destruction at the Dead Sea. The entrainment of O 3 fluxes from outside the area was found to be essential for continuation of RBS activity and O 3 destruction, especially after O 3 levels are beneath ~1-2ppb.
50 CONCLUSIONS (cont.) The significant contribution of the heterogeneous decomposition of BrONO 2 to BrOx production causes NO 2 to have an important influence in controlling and a limiting factor in BrOx production and recycling, O 3 destruction and the diurnal profile of Br and BrO. An essential link in these efficient heterogeneous processes is the heterogeneous decomposition of BrONO 2. The high contribution of the heterogeneous decomposition of BrONO 2 is due to the faster production of HOBr, by a factor of ~4. Model simulations indicate that the release of Br 2 by activation of HOBr may occur more directly from the sea water and not only from the sea salt aerosols.
51 CONCLUSIONS (cont.) The heterogeneous decomposition of BrONO 2 leads to an increase in HNO 3 and an anti-correlation with NO 2. The formation of HNO 3 explains the measured increase in NO z concentrations simultaneously with NO 2 decrease, during RBS activity. The contribution of BrONO 2 and BrNO 2 to NO z is small and not more than 25% of total NO z.
