One profile assumes a "flat" profile shape with a constant volume mixing ratio of 0.10 pptv throughout the atmosphere. The other profile is adapted from the GEOS-Chem April 2022 daytime (SZA < 85) average. file10 contains the a priori profile used for the H2O profile inversions during April 2022 at SPL. The profile is adapted from the GEOS-Chem April 2022 daytime (SZA < 85) average. file11 contains the a priori profile used for the NO2 profile inversions during April 2022 at SPL. The profile is adapted from the GEOS-Chem April 2022 daytime (SZA < 85) average. file12 contains the a priori profile used for the HCHO profile inversions during April 2022 at SPL. The profile is adapted from the GEOS-Chem April 2022 daytime (SZA < 85) average. file13 contains the IO tropospheric vertical column densities (VCDtrop; surface to 12 km), volume mixing ratios near instrument altitude (VMRinstr), and degrees of freedom (DoF) measured by the CU MAX-DOAS instrument at SPL from April 1 to April 30, 2022. file14 contains the H2O VCDtrop, VMRinstr, and DoF measured by the CU MAX-DOAS instrument at SPL from April 1 to April 30, 2022. file15 contains the NO2 VCDtrop, VMRinstr, and DoF measured by the CU MAX-DOAS instrument at SPL from April 1 to April 30, 2022. file16 contains the HCHO VCDtrop, VMRinstr, and DoF measured by the CU MAX-DOAS instrument at SPL from April 1 to April 30, 2022. file17 contains GEOS-Chem simulated temperature, relative humidity, IO VCDtrop & VMRinstr, H2O VCDtrop & VMRinstr, NO2 VCDtrop & VMRinstr, HCHO VCDtrop & VMRinstr, and bromine monoxide (BrO) radical VCDtrop & VMRinstr at SPL from April 1 to April 30, 2022. file18 contains the gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) measured by the Utah State University dual-channel mercury system at SPL from April 1 to April 30, 2022. file19 contains the oxidized mercury (HgII) measured by the Utah State University dual-channel mercury system at SPL from April 1 to April 30, 2022. file20 contains the GEOS-Chem simulated Hg0 and HgII at SPL from April 1 to April 30, 2022. file21 contains the profiles of pressure, temperature, relative humidity, BrO, bromine atom (Br), methane (CH4), chlorine monoxide (ClO) radical, chlorine atom (Cl), carbon monoxide (CO), Hg0, peroxy radical (HO2), IO, iodine atom (I), NO2, hydroxyl radical (OH), and O3 used as constraints for the gas-phase mercury box model. All profiles except IO and I are adapted from the GEOS-Chem April 2022 daytime (SZA < 85) average. The IO profile was calculated by scaling the GEOS-Chem April 2022 daytime (SZA < 85) average below 12 km by the average observed IO VCDtrop during April 2022. The I atom profile was calculated by multiplying the scaled IO profile by the ratio of unscaled I / unscaled IO profiles from GEOS-Chem. file22 contains the time-resolved gas-phase mercury box model output assuming that HgI forms at the same rate as HgBr and HgI dissociates 100x faster than HgOH. file23 contains the time-resolved gas-phase mercury box model output assuming that HgI forms at the same rate as HgBr and HgI dissociates 10x faster than HgOH. file24 contains the time-resolved gas-phase mercury box model output assuming that HgI forms at the same rate as HgBr and HgI dissociates at the same rate as HgOH. file25 contains the time-resolved gas-phase mercury box model output assuming that HgI forms at the rate reported by Goodsite et al.
