| Research Abstract |
Polar Stratospheric Cloud(PSC) plays essential role in polar ozone depletion and/or ozone hole. However, the characteristics of PSC, such as type, mixture, its role on ozone destruction, etc. have not yet understood well. In this study, we made comprehensive observations of PSC, ozone, and related minor constituents by ground-based spectrometers, lidar, sondes, and satellites to clarify characteristics of PSCs and its effect on ozone depletion quantitatively. We succeeded to capture the historical largest Arctic ozone hole which occurred in 2011 spring.
