Flaud, J.-M., Camy-Peyret, C., Brault, J.W., Rinsland, C.P. and Cariolle, D. (1988). Nighttime and daytime variation of atmospheric NO₂ from ground-based infrared measurements. Geophysical Research Letters 15: doi: 10.1029/88GL02050. issn: 0094-8276.

During the period February 28 to March 2, 1986, 19 high resolution atmospheric spectra have been recorded during the night using the moon or during the day using the sun as a source with the Fourier transform spectrometer at the McMath Solar telescope on Kitt Peak. The NO2 absorption peak located at 2914.65 cm-1 has been used to derive from the spectra the total vertical column densities of atmospheric NO2. A rather rapid decrease of the NO2 amount during the night has been observed and its daytime increase from sunrise to sunset has been confirmed. A comparison with the predictions of a photochemical model is given. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988
