Abstract / Description of output

The EOS MLS instrument on NASA's Aura satellite has made the first continuous global measurements of HCN in the middle atmosphere. The measurements are in broad agreement with most earlier measurements, showing HCN to be a long-lived tracer with sources in the troposphere and sinks in the middle atmosphere. There is no evidence in the data for a proposed mesospheric source of HCN.
