Jaramillo, M., de Zafra, R.L., Barrett, J.W., Parrish, A. and Solomon, P.M. (1988). MM-wave observations of stratospheric HCN at tropical latitudes. Geophysical Research Letters 15: doi: 10.1029/88GL02051. issn: 0094-8276.

We have measured middle and upper stratospheric HCN using ground-based mm-wave emission spectroscopy, during a series of observations made in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, in June of 1986. We find a volume mixing ratio of 190¿40 pptv at ~40 km, and a decrease of concentration with altitude that is considerably slower than that predicted by current models. This could be an indication of an atmospheric source of HCN as yet unidentified. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988
