Summary:Column ozone variability has important implications for surface photochemistry and the climate. Ice-core nitrate isotopes are suspected to be influenced by column ozone variability and δ 15 N(NO <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M2" display="inline" overflow="scroll" dspmath="mathml"><mrow><msubsup><mi/><mn mathvariant="normal">3</mn><mo>-</mo></msubsup></mrow></math> <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="9pt" height="16pt" class="svg-formula" dspmath="mathimg" md5hash="53e1f98be2cdf70dbe180d95894fc6b5"><svg:image xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="acp-22-13407-2022-ie00001.svg" width="9pt" height="16pt" src="acp-22-13407-2022-ie00001.png"/></svg:svg> ) has been sought to serve as a proxy of column ozone variability. In this study, we examined the ability of ice-core nitrate isotopes to reflect column ozone variability by measuring δ 15 N(NO <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M4" display="inline" overflow="scroll" dspmath="mathml"><mrow><msubsup><mi/><mn mathvariant="normal">3</mn><mo>-</mo></msubsup></mrow></math> <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="9pt" height="16pt" class="svg-formula" dspmath="mathimg" md5hash="0723f17b5be9fc41c36a5585631feb47"><svg:image xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="acp-22-13407-2022-ie00002.svg" width="9pt" height="16pt" src="acp-22-13407-2022-ie00002.png"/></svg:svg> ) and Δ 17 O(NO <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M6" display="inline" overflow="scroll" dspmath="mathml"><mrow><msubsup><mi/><mn mathvariant="normal">3</mn><mo>-</mo></msubsup></mrow></math> <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="9pt" height="16pt" class="svg-formula" dspmath="mathimg" ...
