项目摘要

The objective of this research is a balloon observation of the nighttime variation of nitrogen oxides concentration in the stratosphere. The nighttime variation of inventory of nitrogen oxides in the stratosphere is quite significant because the heterogeneous process to convert N2O5, which is generated in the nighttime, to HNO3 in the presence of sulfuric acid aerosol is suggested to play a significant role in the ozone depletion in the lower stratosphere. For this purpose, we are developing an instrument to observe vertical distribution of NO2, NO3, ozone and aerosol by the spectroscopic method. By using blight stars as a light source, we can obtain more than 5 profiles of these species in one night. By numerical calculation, we confirm that the possibility of this observation. We have developed a star-tracker, optical system including a telescope and 6-color high-resolution photometer, signal processing electronics and data acquisition system. In the test of performance of the system, we found that the servo-control in the star-tracker was not stable enough to get good quality data. By changing servomotors with digital-controlled motors to improve stability of the star-tracker, we suppose that we can improve the instrument for the balloon experiment. However, **cause of the delay of developing and preparation of the instrument, we cannot make a balloon observation in the period of this grant-aided project research.

这项研究的目的是用气球观测平流层中氮氧化物浓度的夜间变化。平流层中氮氧化物库存的夜间变化相当显着，因为在硫酸气溶胶存在下，夜间产生的 N2O5 转化为 HNO3 的非均相过程在臭氧消耗中发挥着重要作用。平流层下部。为此，我们正在开发一种通过光谱法观察NO2、NO3、臭氧和气溶胶垂直分布的仪器。通过使用枯萎星作为光源，我们可以在一晚上获得这些物种的 5 个以上的剖面图。通过数值计算，我们证实了这一观察的可能性。我们开发了星跟踪器、光学系统（包括望远镜和六色高分辨率光度计）、信号处理电子设备和数据采集系统。在系统性能测试中，我们发现星跟踪器中的伺服控制不够稳定，无法获得高质量的数据。通过将伺服电机更换为数控电机来提高星跟踪器的稳定性，我们认为可以改进气球实验的仪器。但由于仪器研制和准备工作的延误，本次资助项目研究期间我们无法进行气球观测。
