| 内容記述 | The objectives are to study the distribution of ozone (O3) and aerosols across the polar regions during the winter and spring periods and to relate these observations to chemical and dynamical processes that can contribute to the chemical perturbation of the polar stratosphere and the possible destruction of O3. The distribution and characteristics of stratospheric aerosols and polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are required to understand heterogeneous chemical processes that can lead to O3 depletion, and observation of O3 variations are important in the direct detection of O3 depletion and in tracing atmospheric dynamics. An airborne Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) system is operated in a zenith mode from the NASA DC-8 aircraft to obtain data on the large scale spatial variability of O3, and aerosol/PSC's in the lower stratosphere from about 11 to 23 km for O3, and 11 to 28 km for aerosols. The variability of O3 and aerosols/PSCs is studied in relation to chemical processes that can produce O3 depletion and to dynamics in the lower stratosphere that transport gases and aerosols inside the vortex and in some cases, across the edge of the vortex. |
