The partial vapor pressures over liquid or supercooled solutions of water and nitric acid and of water and sulfuric acid are calculated for temperatures below 0C. From these results the partial vapor pressures over the ternary system water-nitric acid-sulfuric (liquid or supercooled) have been estimated and compared with the available experimental data of Vandoni at 0C. Some possible implications for the formation of stratospheric aerosols are also discussed.
