Chlorine nitrate (ClONO{sub 2}) is a temporary reservoir species which couples the ClO{sub x} and NO{sub x} catalytic cycles responsible for ozone depletion in the stratosphere. The identification and quantitative estimation of ClONO{sub 2} in the stratosphere has been achieved using its characteristic absorptions around 1,292 cm{sup {minus}1}. Peak and integrated absorption coefficients of the {nu}{sub 1}, {nu}{sub 2}, {nu}{sub 3} and {nu}{sub 4} fundamental bands of chlorine nitrate were measured at resolutions of 0.13 cm{sup {minus}1} for both pure and pressure-broadened samples at 296 K. The results are compared to previous literature data.
