Formation of large NAT particles and denitrification in polar stratosphere: possible role of cosmic rays and effect of solar activity
The formation of large nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) particles has important implications for denitrification and ozone depletion. Existing theories have difficulty in explaining the formation of large NAT particles at temperatures above the ice frost point, which has been observed recently over wide...
