Atmospheric samples and snowfall collected in coastal East Antarctica over two years are used to investigate the sources, production of atmospheric nitrate (NO 3−) and its link with snowfall NO 3− based upon the isotopic composition of NO 3−(δ 15 N, δ 18 O, and Δ 17 O). Snowfall and the atmosphere show similar seasonal trends in concentrations and isotopic composition of NO 3−. In summer, atmospheric NO 3− is closely associated with snowpack emissions of NO x from photolysis of snow NO 3−. In winter, linear relationships between δ 15 N and δ 18 O (or Δ 17 O) of NO 3− in both snowfall and the atmosphere indicate mixing between stratospheric inputs and tropospheric sources contributing to NO 3−, with stratospheric inputs contributing 55±21% of the atmospheric NO 3− budget. The linear relationships suggest that the lower limits of δ 15 N, δ 18 O, and Δ 17 O of stratospheric-sourced NO 3− are close to∼ 18,∼ 120, and∼ 45‰, respectively. Concentration correlates well with the isotopic composition of NO 3− in winter, indicating less variable contribution of tropospheric sources. A significant linear correlation between δ 18 O and Δ 17 O of NO 3− suggests a mix of oxidation processes by O 3 and H 2 O/OH which can influence NO x cycling and the production of NO 3−. Lower values of Δ 17 O of atmospheric NO 3− were observed during O 3 depletion events in September, suggesting that oxygen isotopes of NO 3− could be more sensitive to the changes in surface O 3 compared to BrO concentrations. Oxygen isotopic composition of NO 3− in snowfall is close to that of the atmosphere throughout the year, suggesting that snowfall NO 3− can relay information on oxidative chemistry of NO x in the atmosphere. Snowfall δ 15 N is close in value to that in the atmosphere during winter, but∼ 20‰ higher than that in the atmosphere during summer, possibly associated with seasonal changes in the gas-aerosol partitioning of atmospheric NO 3−. This suggests that the interpretation of δ 15 N in snow needs to consider seasonal changes in sources and chemistry.
