Profiles of CF2Cl2, CFCl3, CCl4, and N2O in the lower stratosphere are reported from measurements made during a meridional survey in the Northern Hemisphere in the fall of 1976. The latitude distributions obtained show a marked decrease in mixing ratio with increasing latitude from about lat. 7¿N in the region of the Intertropical Convergence Zone to about lat. 79¿N along the 159¿W meridian. The results suggest the importance of meridional transport and mixing in the stratosphere in accounting, at least in part, for the observed profile variation with latitude.
