Short-lived halocarbons are believed to have im- portant sources in the tropics, where rapid vertical trans- port could provide a significant source to the stratosphere. In this study, quasi-continuous measurements of short-lived halocarbons are reported for two tropical sites in Sabah (Malaysian Borneo), one coastal and one inland (rainforest). We present the observations for C2Cl4, CHBr3, CH2Br 2 (ac- tually 80 % CH2Br2 and 20 % CHBrCl2) and CH3I from November 2008 to January 2010 made using ourµDirac gas chromatographs with electron capture detection (GC-ECD). We focus on the first 15 months of observations, show- ing over one annual cycle for each compound and there- fore adding significantly to the few limited-duration obser- vational studies that have been conducted thus far in south- east Asia. The main feature in the C2Cl4 behaviour at both sites is its annual cycle, with the winter months being in- fluenced by northerly flow with higher concentrations, typ- ical of the Northern Hemisphere, and with the summer months influenced by southerly flow and lower concentra- tions representative of the Southern Hemisphere. No such clear annual cycle is seen for CHBr3, CH2Br 2 or CH3I. The baseline values for CHBr3 and CH2Br 2 are similar at the coastal (overall median: CHBr3 1.7 ppt, CH2Br 2 1.4 ppt) and inland sites (CHBr3 1.6 ppt, CH2Br 2 1.1 ppt), but pe- riods with elevated values are seen at the coast (overall 95th percentile: CHBr3 4.4 ppt, CH2Br 2 1.9 ppt), presum- ably resulting from the stronger influence of coastal emis- sions. Overall median bromine values from (CHBr3 ◊ 3) + (CH2Br 2 ◊ 2) are 8.0 ppt at the coast and 6.8 ppt inland. The median values reported here are largely consistent with other limited tropical data and imply that southeast Asia gener- ally is not, as has been suggested, a hot spot for emissions of these compounds. These baseline values are consistent with the most recent emissions found for southeast Asia us- ing the p-TOMCAT (Toulouse Off-line Model of Chemistry And Transport) model. CH3I, which is only observed at the coastal site, is the shortest-lived compound measured in this study, and the observed atmospheric variations reflect this, with high variability throughout the study period.
