This paper presents results of measurements of reactive nitrogen, N[sub 2]O, and ozone as a function of altitude above Kiruna, Sweden, on January 31, 1992. The measurements below 20 km were outside the polar vertex, and above 23 km were inside the polar vertex. There was a strong positive correlation between ozone and reactive nitrogen, and a negative correlation between nitrous oxide and reactive nitrogen below 22 km.
