Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play a crucial role in polar ozone depletion. The study utilized the Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) on the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite to record infrared transmittance spectra of PSCs and determine their composition and properties. The research identified PSCs as nitric acid trihydrate (NAT), supercooled nitric acid (SNA), supercooled ternary solutions (STS) of nitric and sulfuric acid, and ice. This classification is vital for understanding and modeling polar stratospheric ozone depletion.
Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are responsible for polar ozone depletion. Infrared transmittance spectra of PSCs recorded by the Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) on the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite were used to determine the composition and properties of PSCs. These unique broad band infrared spectra identify PSCs as nitric acid trihydrate (NAT), supercooled ternary solutions (STS) of nitric and sulfuric acid, and ice, as expected. Quantitative modeling of these PSC spectra shows that supercooled nitric acid (SNA) is also common, i.e., STS with no observable sulfuric acid in their infrared spectra. ACE-FTS observations therefore classify PSCs into 4 basic spectral types, NAT, STS, SNA and ice, as well as their mixtures. As an example, this classification scheme was applied to the Antarctic for July to September 2019. The composition and particularly the phase of PSCs are critical to the understanding and detailed chemical modeling of polar stratospheric ozone depletion.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
