Description:
Measurements of NO, NO2, O3, and CO were obtained for tropopause fold events encountered during two flights of the NASA global tropospheric experiment aircraft in 1984. The results suggest that NO(x) may not always be a good tracer of air of recent stratospheric origin. It is suggested that the stratospheric source of NO(x) acts to introduce NO(x) over a short period and through a large vertical region of the troposphere.
