Hydrochloric Acid and the Chlorine Budget of the Lower Stratosphere
Concentrations of hc1 measured in the lower stratosphere in 1993 by the ALIAS instrument on the ER-2 aircraft reveal that only 40% of inorganic chlorine (CL sub y, inferred from in situ measurements of organic chlorinated source gases) is present as HC1, significantly lower than model predictions.

Latitude Variations of Stratospheric Trace Gases
This paper presents observations made in 1987 and 1992, covering latitudes from 85°S to 85°N as part of the Airborne Antarctic Ozone Experiment (AAOE) in 1987 and the Airborne Arctic Stratosphere Experiment (AASE) in1992.

Heterogeneous reaction probabilities, solubilities, and the physical state of cold volcanic aerosols
On 19 January 1992, heterogeneous loss of HNO3, ClNO3, and HCl was observed in part of the Mount Pinatubo volcanic cloud that had cooled as a result of forced ascent. Portions of the volcanic cloud froze near 191 kelvin. The reaction probability of ClNO3 and the solubility of HNO3 were close to laboratory measurements on liquid sulfuric acid. The magnitude of the observed loss of HCl suggests that it underwent a heterogeneous reaction. Such reactions could lead to substantial loss of HCl on background sulfuric acid particles and so be important for polar ozone loss.
