Observation of Polar Stratospheric Clouds down to the Mediterranean coast

Observation of Polar Stratospheric Clouds down to the Mediterranean coast

A Polar Stratospheric Cloud (PSC) was detected for the first time in January 2006 over Southern Europe after 25 years of systematic lidar observations. This cloud was observed while the polar vortex was highly distorted during the initial phase of a major stratospheric warming. Very cold stratospher...
