abstract = {[1] Polar stratospheric cloud particles (PSCs) are known to
strongly influence the infra-red emission spectrum of the
lower stratosphere in cold polar winters. The
characteristics of these infra-red features have been
examined using limb sounding spectra recorded by the CRISTA
experiment in August 1997 when many Antarctic PSCs were
observed. A distinctive spectral feature centered at 820
cm(-1) has been identified in many of these spectra, the
first time that a particular band has been observed in the
spectra of PSCs in the atmosphere. The feature can be
attributed to the nu(2) band of the NO3- ion and strongly
suggests a condensed nitric acid component to the particles
in the form of solid nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) or liquid
ternary solution (STS). The spectral signatures belong to a
definite sub-set of the PSC observations recorded by CRISTA.
The particles are observed at temperatures well above 192 K,
allowing for temperature errors, and it is suggested that
NAT particles are the most likely source of the spectral
signature. In addition, it is shown that PSC events in which
no spectral signature is present are only observed below 192
K and display a very similar HNO3- temperature relationship
to STS particles.},
