The author presents results from a one dimensional model simulation of the absorption of HNO{sub 3} on sulfuric acid aerosol particles resulting from volcanic eruptions. Uptake of HNO{sub 3} on such droplets, followed by sedimentation of the aerosols may result in a net transfer of HNO{sub 3} to lower altitudes in the polar stratospheric winter. The effectiveness of this process is found to be strongly dependent upon the ambient temperature, and density of aerosol in the stratosphere. 25 refs., 10 figs., 2 tabs.
