This paper presents measurements of stratospheric nitrogen dioxide densities made by the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (ISAMS) on board the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS). This compound plays a major role in the atmospheric chemistry of ozone, so a good understanding of its variation in density in the stratosphere will contribute to the interpretation of other measurements related to ozone concentration variations. Infrared measurements made at 6.2 [mu]m are used to extract the nitrogen dioxide densities.
