Detection of nitric acid and nitric oxides in the terrestrial atmosphere in the middle-infrared spectral region

A proposal for combined space and ground-based observations of the vertical distributions and the column densities of nitric acid and nitric oxide concentrations in the earth's atmosphere is discussed. We focus on the aspects that are particular to the idea of correlative measurements: geom...
