Effects of denitrification on the distributions of trace gas abundances in the polar regions: a comparison of WACCM with observations

<p>Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play a key role in the polar chemistry of the stratosphere. Nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) particles have been shown to lead to denitrification of the lower stratosphere. While the existence of large NAT particles (NAT “rocks”) has been verified by many measu...
