Description:Reactive chlorine and bromine species emitted from snow and aerosols can significantly alter the oxidative capacity of the polar boundary layer. However, halogen production mechanisms from snow remain highly uncertain, making it difficult for most models to include descriptions of halogen snow emissions and to understand the impact on atmospheric chemistry. We investigate the influence of Arctic halogen emissions from snow on boundary layer oxidation processes using a one-dimensional atmospheric chemistry and transport model (PACT-1D). To understand the combined impact of snow emissions and boundary layer dynamics on atmospheric chemistry, we model Cl2 and Br2 primary emissions from snow and include heterogeneous
