Model calculations of atmospheric ozone depletion due to chlorofluorocarbon degradation and possible commercial operation of stratospheric aircraft are particularly sensitive to processes that effect the partitioning between reactive NO[sub x] (NO, NO[sub 2], and NO[sub 3]) and reservoir NO[sub y] (HNO[sub 3], N[sub 2]O[sub 5], HO[sub 2]NO[sub 2], ClONO[sub 2], and CH[sub 3]CO[sub 3]NO[sub 2]) species. Two new fundamental vibration-rotation bands have been observed for HO[sub 2]NO[sub 2] and assigned. They are [nu][sub 7] at 648 cm[sup [minus]1] at 466 cm[sup [minus]1]. On the basis of these assignments the previously observed bands at 722, 801.5, and 919 cm[sup [minus]1] are assigned to [nu][sub 10], [nu][sub 7] + [nu][sub 12], and 2 [nu][sub 8], respectively. A partial rotational analysis of the atmospherically relevant [nu][sub 6] band has been carried out, and the effects of tunneling. Coriolis interactions, and hot bands on the rotational structure have been characterized. The band origin derived from this analysis is 802.54[sub 3] cm[sup [minus]1].
