LIDAR vertical profiles of stratospheric temperature and density in Antarctica by IFA/CNR from 1991 to 1992 at McMurdo Base
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The LIDAR experiment was installed at McMurdo station (Antarctica) in August 1990 to investigate the presence of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs) in the stratosphere.
Description
With a telescope of 41.5 cm of diameter, a laser power higher than 100 mJ and 2 acquisition channels (main and cross polarization) it is able to give informations on the atmospheric aerosol load and on the optical properties of the PSCs particles. In August 1991 a photon-counting channel for temperature measurements was installed.
The stratospheric temperature data set covers the end-spring season in 91, 92 and the entire winter and spring season in the succesive years, with a measurement of 30 minutes every 4 days on average and a profile range of 40 Km above 25 Km of altitude.
