Short summary

A reaction scheme representing the tropospheric ozone depletion events (ODEs) and the halogen chemistry in the Arctic spring was processed with two different mechanism reduction approaches. In the concentration sensitivity analysis, 11 reactions were removed while an additional 9 reactions were eliminated according to the principal component analysis. The results computed by applying the reduced reaction mechanisms derived after the analyses agree well with those when using the original scheme.
