Vertical Profiles of Polar Stratospheric Clouds, Condensation Nuclei, Ozone, Nitric Acid, and Water Vapor in the Antarctic Winter and Spring Stratosphere

摘要 9316774 Deshler该项目是早期研究的延续和扩展，以研究每年南极臭氧洞的原因和性质。 将从南极洲的麦克默多发射气球携带的传感器，以测量臭氧、气溶胶、极地平流层云的垂直分布，并与使用同一气球的其他研究人员合作，测量由小型激光雷达遥感的水蒸气、硝酸蒸气和气溶胶。 研究人员还将与意大利地面激光雷达小组密切合作。 将要研究的化学和物理条件都对臭氧洞的形成起着至关重要的作用。 第一年（1994年）的热气球飞行将与美国航天局赞助的ER-2飞机使命协调，该飞机将从新西兰的基督城飞往南极洲。 该项目支持全球变化倡议。 ***

Abstract 9316774 Deshler This project is a continuation and expansion on earlier research, to study the causes and nature of the annual Antarctic ozone hole. Balloon borne sensors will be flown from McMurdo, Antarctica to measure vertical profiles of ozone, aerosols, polar stratospheric clouds and, in collaboration with other researchers using the same balloons, water vapor, nitric acid vapor and aerosols remotely sensed by a small lidar. The researchers will also work closely with a ground based Italian lidar group. The chemistry and physical conditions which will be studied all play a crucial role in the formation of the ozone hole. The balloon flights in the first year (1994) will be coordinated with a NASA sponsored ER-2 aircraft mission which will be flown from Christchurch, NZ to Antarctica. This project supports the Global Change Initiative. ***
