A climatological study of polar stratospheric clouds (1989–1997) from LIDAR measurements over Dumont d’Urville (Antarctica)

Polar Stratospheric Clouds over 1 Antarctica from the CALIPSO

1 2 This paper presents statistics of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs) above Antarctica from 3 June to October 2006 using observations from the CALIOP spaceborne lidar, part of the 4 CALIPSO mission. Synoptic-scale changes in their geographic and temporal distribution 5 are documented on a weekly basis and correlated with temperature fields. A very high 6 spatial and temporal variability tends...
