Concentrations of CCl/sub 3/F (F-11), CCl/sub 2/F/sub 2/ (F-12), CHClF/sub 2/ (F-22), C/sub 2/Cl/sub 3/F/sub 3/ (F-113), CH/sub 3/CCl/sub 3/, CCl/sub 4/, C/sub 2/HCl/sub 3/ (TCE), CH/sub 3/I, CHCl/sub 3/, CO, CH/sub 3/Cl, CH/sub 4/, and N/sub 2/O were measured in and above the boundary layer (0-4 km) of the Arctic troposphere near Pt. Barrow (70/sup 0/N) during May 1982. The vertical structure of the concentrations is reported graphically and is analyzed statistically to reveal consistent patterns. The results are compared with analogous observations made during spring in the southern hemisphere.
