Abstract Stratospheric concentrations of OH have been derived from LIMS measurements of minor constituents. Two methods have been used. Assuming that HNO3 and NO2 are in photochemical steady state, LIMS measurements of these species, with knowledge of appropriate rate constants and a calculation of the HNO3 photolysis rate, allow nearly global fields of OH to be derived. The derived profiles show satisfactory agreement with observations. As a check on our method, OH has also been derived by calculations of its sources and sinks using LIMS measurements of H2O. The two methods agree extremely well in low latitudes. At higher latitudes the agreement is less satisfactory. This is discussed in terms of the diurnal behaviour of the species and the time constant of the HNO3/NO2 equilibrium.
