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

本项目是对南极每年臭氧空洞的成因和性质研究的延续和扩展。气球携带的传感器将从南极洲的麦克默多起飞，测量臭氧、气溶胶、极地平流层云的垂直分布，并与其他研究人员合作，使用相同的气球，用小型激光雷达远程监测水蒸气、硝酸蒸汽和气溶胶。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在臭氧空洞的形成中都起着至关重要的作用。第一年（1994年）的气球飞行将与美国宇航局赞助的从新西兰克赖斯特彻奇飞往南极洲的ER-2飞机飞行协调。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. ***
