Probing stratospheric transport and chemistry with new balloon and aircraft observations of the meridional and vertical N<sub>2</sub>O isotope distribution

A comprehensive set of stratospheric balloon and aircraft samples was analyzed for the position-dependent isotopic composition of nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O). Results for a total of 220 samples from between 1987 and 2003 are presented, nearly tripling the number of mass-spectrometric...
