Abstract. A combination of POAM III aerosol extinction and CHAMP RO temperature measurements are used to ex-amine the role of atmospheric gravity waves in the formation of Antarctic Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs). POAM III aerosol extinction observations and quality flag information are used to i...
