Description: Reasonable lower-limit estimates of the latitude-altitude distribution of stratospheric NO(x) for December 1978 and March 1979 are presented. The lower-limit estimates are based on nighttime measurements of NO2 and HNO3 taken by the LIMS instrument aboard the NIMBUS 7 satellite. It is shown that the estimates do not depend upon model calculations or a priori knowledge of the nature of the stratospheric photochemical system. The results indicate that the measured sum of nighttime NO2 nd HNO3 is as high as 22.5 + or - ppbv and that atmospheric NO(x) levels may be as high as 26 + or - 4.5 ppbv at 37 km, which is larger than most calculated NO(x) levels.
