Short summary

The oscillations of tropospheric ODEs in the Arctic spring is studied numerically. After the termination of an ODE, the reactive bromine is deposited onto aerosols/the snow surface, and the ozone may regenerate. The replenished ozone is available for the next autocatalytic bromine release, leading to the oscillation of an ODE. Its dependence on the NO_x mixing ratio, the inversion layer strength, the ambient temperature, the aerosol density, and the solar radiation is investigated.
