Abstract
Measurements with an airborne lidar performed during the Arctic winter 1994/95 show, that the ozone mixing ratio declined by about 50% throughout the polar vortex in the period from the beginning of February to mid of March in a sharp defined altitude band from 420 K to 520 K potential temperature. The simultaneous detection of the stratospheric aerosol density provides evidence that this depletion was not caused by dynamical processes but by chemical reactions.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
