Effects of atmospheric transport on column abundances of nitrogen and chlorine compounds in the arctic stratosphere
In the absence of heterogeneous processes, distributions of NO(y), HNO3, Cl(x) and HCl in the polar winter stratosphere should be determined by transport. A model simulating distributions of these species in the arctic for January and February 1989 is developed using observed fields of potential vor...
