Abstract
SINCE the detection of HNO3 in the atmosphere1, it has been expected that oxides of nitrogen, such as NO2, should also be present. In fact, in a previous paper by some of us1 a tentative identification of NO2 absorption was made. The most intense vibration–rotation band of NO2 is the ν3 fundamental, centred at 1,618 cm−1, near the centre of the ν2 H2O band.
