This study reports halogen oxide measurements in the central Arctic Ocean carried out during the ship-based Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition. The observations were made by the IQFR MAX-DOAS instrument as part of an international collaboration during the MOSAiC expedition, the largest scientific expedition to the Arctic in history, conducted on the German research icebreaker Polarsten, which set sail from Norway, to spend a year drifting through the Arctic Ocean - trapped in the ice. The goal of the MOSAic expedition was to take the closest look ever at the Arctic as the epicenter of global warming and to gain fundamental insights that are key to better understand global climate change. Hundreds of researchers from 20 countries were involved in this expedition.
