On the linkage between tropospheric and Polar Stratospheric clouds in the Arctic as observed by space–borne lidar

The type of Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) as well as their temporal and spatial extent are important for the occurrence of heterogeneous reactions in the polar stratosphere. The formation of PSCs depends strongly on temperature. However, the mechanisms of the formation of solid PSCs are still po...
