This is a joint project involving the University of Wyoming, the University of Wisconsin, NOAA/ERL/GMCC and Environment Canada-Atmospheric Environmental Service. The intention is to study the physical, chemical and radioactive properties of stratospheric clouds (PSC's) and the relationship between PSC's and the annual springtime destruction of stratospheric ozone over Antarctica. A variety of instruments will be flown on balloons launched from South Pole by NOAA personnel during the late winter and spring. A new instrument, called a PSCsonde, has been developed for this purpose. It can detect PSC's and stratospheric aerosols, and give some information on size distributions. In addition, measurements will be made of water vapor, ozone, temperature, winds, infrared heat flux up and down, and, on some flights, nitric acid vapor. Approximately 40 flights are planned over a two-year period.

这是一个联合项目，包括怀俄明州大学， 威斯康星州大学，NOAA/ERL/GMCC和环境 加拿大-大气环境局。 目的是研究物理、化学和 平流层云（PSC）的放射性特性和 PSC与每年春季破坏之间的关系 平流层臭氧的变化。 各种仪器 将由美国国家海洋和大气管理局从南极发射气球 人员在冬末和春季。 一种称为PSC探测器的新仪器已经研制出来， 这个目的。 它可以探测PSC和平流层气溶胶， 并给出一些关于大小分布的信息。 此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 将对水蒸气，臭氧，温度， 风，红外热通量上下，而且，在一些航班上， 硝酸蒸气 大约40个航班计划在一个 两年期。
