Summary

Slant column amounts of NO2 have been measured at twilight at MacQuarie Island using differential absorption spectroscopy. The data show a large seasonal cycle and diurnal variations. These changes are dominated by photochemistry. There are also smaller day-to-day variations that are probably caused by dynamical effects.
