Space borne infrared limb emission measurements by the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding ( MIPAS) reveal the formation of a belt of polar stratospheric clouds ( PSCs) of nitric acid trihydrate ( NAT) particles over Antarctica in mid-June 2003. By mesoscale microphysical simul...
