The observations on Polar Stratospheric Clouds at Zhongshan Station, Antarctica
A lidar system (694 nm) was used to measure the stratospheric aerosol layer at Zhongshan Station (69°22'S, 76°22'E) in 1993. A total of 53 sets of lidar data presented in this paper were obtained over a period of 224 days between March 27 and November 5, 1993. The average vertical profiles...
