Balloon borne spectroscopic measurements of the vertical distribution of the most important nitrogen, chlorine and iodine containing species are used to estimate the quality of state-of-the-art instruments and retrieval algorithms and to gain new insights into stratospheric photochemistry. A comparison study between observations of O3 and NO2 in the UV/visible and infrared spectral ranges involving the DOAS and LPMA balloon borne instruments and the satellite borne SCIAMACHY instrument yields reasonable agreement. The variety of trace gases measured by the LPMA/DOAS balloon payload allows for investigation of the budget and partitioning of stratospheric nitrogen and chlorine under several geophysical conditions. Comparison of the observations with the 3-D chemical transport model (CTM) SLIMCAT indicates that the ratio between short- and long-lived nitrogen containing species is overestimated by the model. For a high-latitude winter scenario the 1-D stratospheric chemistry model LABMOS is constrained by the observations in order to test recently published updates of the reaction kinetics of the ClO-ClO and ClO-BrO catalytic cycles with respect to model-measurement agreement and ozone loss rates. The latter are enhanced by 20% to 25% when using the kinetic updates. The determination of upper limits for IO and OIO corroborate earlier findings of the budget of stratospheric iodine in high- and mid-latitudes and extend the data base to tropical latitudes. Given the measured IO and OIO upper limits, model calculations show that total gaseous iodine in the lower tropical stratosphere is less abundant than (0.32 ± 0.11) ppt or (0.38 ± 0.10) ppt depending on whether OIO photolysis occurs or does not.
