    Description
    Bromine monoxide (BrO) plays an important role in tropospheric chemistry. The state-of-the-science TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) offers the potential to monitor atmospheric composition with a fine spatial resolution of up to 5.5 × 3.5 km2. We present here the retrieval of tropospheric BrO columns from TROPOMI. We implement a stratospheric correction scheme using a climatological approach based on the latest GEOS-Chem High Performance chemical transport model, and improve the tropospheric air mass factor calculation with TROPOMI surface albedo data accounting for the geometrical dependency. Our product presents a good level of consistency in comparison with measurements from ground-based zenith-sky differential optical absorption spectroscopy (r = 0.67), aircrafts (r = 0.46), and satellites (similar spatial distributions of BrO columns). Furthermore, our retrieval captures BrO enhancements in the polar springtime with values up to 7.8 × 1013 molecules cm−2 and identifies small-scale emission sources such as volcanoes and salt marshes. Based on TROPOMI data, we probe a blowing snow aerosol bromine mechanism in which the snow salinity is reduced to better match simulation and observation. Our TROPOMI tropospheric BrO product contributes high-resolution global information to studies investigating atmospheric bromine chemistry.
