The outline of lidar measurements which were made at Syowa Station (69°00'S, 39°35'E), Antarctica since March 1983 is described. Interesting topic was the enhancement of the stratospheric aerosol layer in winter. Coordinate measurements by the lidar and balloons were successfully done to clarify the early stage of the winter enhancement of the stratospheric aerosol layer.
