Short summary

This paper presents the first combined measurements of both ammonium nitrate aerosols and their gaseous precursors (HNO₃, NH₃) in the Paris megacity, obtained during the FRANCIPOL and PARTICULES campaigns. This data set is used to investigate the nitrate formation regime within the city, which is particularly important considering the high contribution of nitrates in the fine aerosol pollution of Paris. In addition, it is also used to evaluate the CHIMERE chemistry-transport model.
