Partitioning between the inorganic chlorine reservoirs HCl and ClONO<sub>2</sub> during the Arctic winter 2005 from the ACE-FTS

From January to March 2005, the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment high resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (ACE-FTS) on SCISAT-1 measured many of the changes occurring in the Arctic (50&ndash;80&deg; N) lower stratosphere under very cold winter conditions. Here we focus on the partition...
