Measurement from sun-synchronous orbit of a reaction rate controlling the diurnal NOx cycle in the stratosphere
A reaction rate associated with the nighttime formation of an important diurnally varying species, N2O5, is determined from MIPAS-ENVISAT. During the day, photolysis of N2O5 in the stratosphere contributes to nitrogen-catalysed ozone destruction. However, at night concentrations of N2O5 increase, te...
