We investigate the latitudinal variations of the sources of tropospheric odd nitrogen (NOy) due to lightning discharges and stratosphere‐troposphere exchange. By also considering the latitudinal variation of the removal rate in rainout we calculate the NOy distributions in the troposphere using a one‐dimensional model. We then discuss the implications of the characteristic latitudinal gradients of NOy due to these two sources in view of the GAMETAG measurements in the free troposphere.
