Observations and analysis of polar stratospheric clouds detected by POAM III and SAGE III during the SOLVE II/VINTERSOL campaign in the 2002/2003 Northern Hemisphere winter
The Polar Ozone and Aerosol Measurement and Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment instruments both observed high numbers of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) in the polar region during the second SAGE Ozone Loss and Validation (SOLVE II) and Validation of INTERnational Satellites and Study of Ozone Loss (VINTERSOL) campaign, conducted during the 2002/2003 Northern Hemisphere winter. Between ...
متن کاملSAGE III aerosol extinction validation in the Arctic winter: comparisons with SAGE II and POAM III
The use of SAGE III multiwavelength aerosol extinction coefficient measurements to infer PSC type is contingent on the robustness of both the extinction magnitude and its spectral variation. Past validation with SAGE II and other similar measurements has shown that the SAGE III extinction coefficient measurements are reliable though the comparisons have been greatly weighted toward measurements...
متن کاملFormation of solid particles in synoptic - scale Arctic PSCs in early winter 2002 / 2003
Polar stratospheric clouds (PSC) have been observed in early winter (December 2002) during the SOLVE II/Vintersol campaign, both from balloons carrying comprehensive instrumentation for measurements of chemical composition, size distributions, and optical properties of the particles, as well as from individual backscatter soundings from Esrange and Sodankylä. The observations are unique in the ...
متن کاملAerosol optical depth measurements by airborne sun photometer in SOLVE II: Comparisons to SAGE III, POAM III and airborne spectrometer measurements
The 14-channel NASA Ames Airborne Tracking Sunphotometer (AATS-14) measured solarbeam transmission on the NASA DC-8 during the second SAGE III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment (SOLVE II). This paper presents AATS-14 results for multiwavelength aerosol optical depth (AOD), including comparisons to results from two satellite sensors and another DC-8 instrument, namely the Stratospheric Aeroso...
متن کاملSensitivity of the Mipas on Envisat to the Detection of Polar Stratospheric Clouds and Their Composition
The MIPAS instrument has provided unprecedented information on the distribution and composition of polar stratospheric clouds. Both the spectral information in the measured data and its views of the poles are central to these advances. In this paper, the detection of polar stratospheric cloud particles is discussed and a threshold value of five for a defined MIPAS cloud index is shown to be sui...
