    <description descriptionType="Abstract">We investigate broad absorption line (BAL) disappearance and emergence using a 470 BAL-quasar sample over &amp;lt;= 0.10-5.25 rest-frame years with at least three spectroscopic epochs for each quasar from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We identify 14 disappearing BALs over &amp;lt;= 1.73-4.62 rest-frame years and 18 emerging BALs over &amp;lt;= 1.46-3.66 rest-frame years associated with the C IV lambda 1548,1550 and/or Si IV lambda lambda 1393,1402 doublets, and report on their variability behaviour. BAL quasars in our data set exhibit disappearing/emerging C IV BALs at a rate of 2.3(-0.7)(+0.9) and 3.0(-0.8)(+1.0) per cent, respectively, and the frequency for BAL to non-BAL quasar transitions is 1.7(-0.6)(+0.8) per cent. We detect four re-emerging BALs over &amp;lt;= 3.88 rest-frame years on average and three re-disappearing BALs over &amp;lt;= 4.15 rest-frame years on average, the first reported cases of these types. We infer BAL lifetimes along the line of sight to be nominally less than or similar to 100-1000 yr using disappearing C IV BALs in our sample. Interpretations of (re-) emerging and (re-) disappearing BALs reveal evidence that collectively supports both transverse-motion and ionization-change scenarios to explain BAL variations. We constrain a nominal C IV/Si IV BAL-outflow location of less than or similar to 100 pc from the central source and a radial size of greater than or similar to 1x 10(-7) pc (0.02 au) using the ionization-change scenario, and constrain a nominal outflow location of less than or similar to 0.5 pc and a transverse size of similar to 0.01 pc using the transverse-motion scenario. Our findings are consistent with previous work, and provide evidence in support of BALs tracing compact flow geometries with small filling factors.</description>
