Short summary

We report the first stratospheric measurements of the diurnal variation in the inorganic bromine (Br_y) reservoir species BrONO₂ around sunrise and sunset. The main goal of these observations was to check the current understanding of stratospheric bromine chemistry and to estimate the amount of lower-stratospheric Br_y. The calculated temporal variation in BrONO₂ largely reproduces the balloon-borne observations. The amount of Br_y was estimated to be about 21–25 pptv in the lower stratosphere.
