Abstract

This paper presents examples of vertical N2O and SF6 profiles obtained during Arctic campaigns held at Kiruna (68°N, 21°E), Sweden, and mid latitude campaigns in Gap (44°N, 6°E) and Aire sur l’Adour (44°N, 0°W), France. The structure of these profiles shows the effects of dynamic processes, e.g. subsidence, in the stratosphere.
