Signature of Arctic surface ozone depletion events in the isotope anomaly ( Δ 17 O) of atmospheric nitrate
International audience We report the first measurements of the oxygen isotope anomaly of atmospheric inorganic nitrate from the Arctic. Nitrate samples and complementary data were collected at Alert, Nunavut, Canada (82°30 ' N, 62°19 ' W) in spring 2004. Covering the polar sunrise period,...
