Gravitational separation of major atmospheric components observed in the stratosphere over Syowa Station, Antarctica, Kiruna, Sweden and Sanriku, Japan.

To investigate the gravitational separation of atmospheric components in the stratosphere, air samples collected using an aircraft during the Arctic Airborne Measurement Program 2002 (AAMP02) were analyzed for the O_2 N_2 ratios (δ(O_2 N_2)), δ^<15>N of N_2, δ^<18>O of O_2 and Ar N_2 rat...
