The author presents ground based measurements of HF, N{sub 2}O, CFC-12 (CF{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}) and CFC-22 (CHF{sub 2}Cl) vertical distributions from the Arctic winter. These long lived trace atmospheric gases can serve as tracers for atmospheric circulation studies, and here the authors analyze the data to obtain information on the vertical circulation in the atmosphere during the polar winter.
