Description

University of Colorado iodine data measured in the UTLS aboard the NSF-NCAR GV aircraft during two field campaigns: 
Tropical Ocean tRoposphere Exchange of Reactive Halogen Species and Oxygenated VOC (TORERO), Eastern Pacific Ocean
CONvective Transport of Active Species in the Tropics (CONTRAST), Western Pacific Ocean

Iodine monoxide (IO) is measured by the CU AMAX-DOAS instrument following methods described in Dix et al., 2016 (doi:10.5194/amt-9-5655-2016) with minor adaptations. The uncertainty in the IO mixing ratio for these measurements in the UTLS is better than reported in Dix et al., namely, it is 20% of the measured mixing ratio but not better than 0.03 ppt. These components should be added in quadrature: err(IO) = sqrt( (0.2*IO)^2 + 0.03^2)
IO/Iy is the ratio of iodine monoxide to total gas-phase iodine (Iy) modeled using the CU box-model constrained by measured temperature, pressure, chemical concentrations, particle size distributions, and photolysis frequencies. The uncertainty is estimated as 30% of the ratio, incl. errors in the calibration of in-situ and remote sensing data, and accounting for differences in the spatial scales. The inferred Iy is based on the measured IO and modeled IO/Iy. The uncertainty in Iy is propagated from the uncertainties in IO and that of IO/Iy.
