♦ 1998 Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion» Budget remains out of balance (sinks>sources by 83 Gg/y)» Lifetime is 0.7 y» Ocean is a small net sink» Fumigation could account for 10-40% of all sources
♦ 2002 Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion» 20th century atmospheric history obtained from firn» Some new natural sources identified» Budget is still out of balance (sinks>sources by 45 Gg/y), and
lifetime remains 0.7 y with a small net ocean sink» Fumigation release estimates remain at ~41 Gg/y

♦ Ozone depleting capacity of the atmosphere has dropped 8-9%since 1992
♦ Montreal Protocol seems to be working
♦ CH3Br decreased by 14% since 1997 (more than expected)
♦ Budget still out of balance (sinks > sources by 45 Gg/y)
♦ Bromine still a major player with no detectable decrease in the stratosphere, yet.

Previous Modeling Studies• Pilinis et al. [1996] and Anbar et al. [1996] predicted large
supersaturations in the Southern Ocean.• Lee-Taylor et al. [1998] prescribed the SA as a function of
latitude with no seasonal variation and coupled the ocean to a 3D atmospheric model. Determined that 50 – 70% of missing source is in SH and biased towards tropics.
• Reeves et al. [2003] used the King et al. [2000] SST SA relationship which has one relationship for the whole year. Modeled the firn air data and determined that there must have been a pre-industrial addition source in the SH.
• Montzka et al. [2003] used a box model with varying anthropogenic emission fractions, varying lifetimes, and emissions from soils to fit the observed recent decline in atmospheric CH3Br. The lifetime had to be increased above the 0.7yr best estimate in order to fit the data with this model.

Previous Modeling Studies (cont’d)• Saltzman et al. [2004] combined measurements and modeling to
assess preindustrial concentrations, missing source and budget. Model included an interactive ocean. Preindustrial southern hemisphere mixing ratio is 5.8 ppt. Most of the SH missing source not anthropogenic.
• Warwick et al. [2006] missing source likely tropical and subtropical plants and biomass burning.

This Study• Includes seasonality of sources and sinks• Includes biofuel source• Includes an interactive ocean model• Examines interannual variability in selected sources
and sinks.• Uses extended observations.• Assesses missing source seasonality, interannual
variability, and dependence on lifetime.• Determines oceanic response to phaseout.

7 Missing source reduced by 50%, and atmospheric lifetime of CH3Br increased to 0.84 yr. Remaining missing source adjusted to match the observed pre-phaseout seasonality and treated as natural with no interannual variability.

Ocean Response to Phaseout
(Yvon-Lewis et al., 2009)
![Page 39: Methyl Bromide: Budget and Trends - Kansas State University · ♦1998 Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion » Budget remains out of balance (sinks>sources by 83 Gg/y) » Lifetime](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071022/5fd737ccbaeec7010c2709ee/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Conclusions• Atmospheric levels:
– Decreasing– Not to preindustrial levels, yet.
• Missing source– Portion is likely anthropogenic (60% emission rather
than 50% emission– Not the result of overestimated sinks (lifetime remains
0.7-0.8 years and ODP remains 0.5)• Ocean
– Should be less understurated than before phaseout
