Measurement from sun-synchronous orbit of a reaction rate controlling the diurnal NO<sub>x</sub> cycle in the stratosphere

A reaction rate associated with the nighttime formation of an important diurnally varying species, N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>, is determined from MIPAS-ENVISAT. During the day, photolysis of N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> in the stratosphere contributes to...
