Abstract
Near‐simultaneous soundings of backscatter, particle size distribution and frost point were obtained in north polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) near the center of the vortex. The measured particle sizes and concentration in type I PSCs tend to confirm earlier predictions based on remotely sensed properties.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
