Detection of reactive nitrogen containing particles in the tropopause region – evidence for a tropical nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) belt

The detection of nitric acid trihydrate (NAT, HNO<sub>3</sub>×3H<sub>2</sub>O) particles in the tropical transition layer (TTL) harmonizes our understanding of polar stratospheric cloud formation. Large reactive nitrogen (NO&l...
