Stratospheric ice crystals

In situ sampling of the crystals is described with a NASA high-altitude aircraft to characterize the presence of ice particles and their role in Antarctic ozone chemistry. A NASA wire impactor was employed to collect the crystals, and the device was modified to permit Formvar crystal replication. Th...
