Abstract
Stratospheric ions are of considerable interest because they not only control atmospheric electrical properties but also may influence stratospheric trace gases and aerosols. The first detailed in situ composition measurements of the stratospheric heavy negative ion clusters are now reported; these measurements have interesting implications for trace gases and aerosols.
