Abstract: Profiles of the mixing ratio of NO x (NO x = NO + NO 2 ) for the clean troposphere are presented. The NO x mixing ratio increases from 10 pptv in surface air to values of about 200 pptv at the tropopause. The profile of NO x is governed by intrusion of odd nitrogen from the stratosphere into the troposphere. Anthropogenically produced NO x from ground level sources influences the NO x profile only in the lower troposphere.
