abstract = {Infrared spectroscopic observations have shown that
crystalline ammonium nitrate (AN) particles are an abundant
constituent of the upper tropospheric aerosol layer which is
formed during the Asian summer monsoon period, the so-called
Asian Tropopause Aerosol Layer (ATAL). At upper tropospheric
temperatures, the thermodynamically stable phase of AN is
different from that at 298 K, meaning that presently
available room-temperature optical constants of AN, that is,
the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive
index, cannot be applied for the quantitative analysis of
these infrared measurements. In this work, we have retrieved
the first low-temperature data set of optical constants for
crystalline AN in the 800–6000 cm−1 wavenumber range
with a spectral resolution of 0.5 cm−1. The optical
constants were iteratively derived from an infrared
extinction spectrum of 1 µm sized AN particles suspended
in a cloud chamber at 223 K. The uncertainties of the new
data set were carefully assessed in a comprehensive
sensitivity analysis. We show that our data accurately fit
aircraft-borne infrared measurements of ammonium nitrate
particles in the ATAL.},
