We measured column abundances of HF, HCl, O 3 , HNO 3 , and H 2 O on the NASA DC‐8 during the AASE II campaign, using thermal emission spectroscopy. We made multiple traversals of the Arctic vortex and surroundings. Using HF as a tracer, we remove the effects of subsidence from the measured column abundances; perturbations in the resulting column abundances are attributed to chemical processing. We find that by January 1992 the stratospheric column in the vortex had been chemically depleted by about (55±10)% in HCl and (35±10)% in O 3 , and enhanced by about (15±10)% in HNO 3 and (0±10)% in H 2 O.
