14 years of lidar measurements of polar stratospheric clouds at the French Antarctic station Dumont d'Urville

Abstract: Abstract. Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play a critical role in the stratospheric ozone depletion processes. The last 30 years have seen significant improvements in our understanding of the PSC processes but PSC parametrization in global models still remains a challenge due to the necessary trade-off between the complexity of PSC microphysics and model parametrization constraints. The French Antarctic station Dumont d'Urville (DDU, 66.6∘ S, 140.0∘ E) has one of the few high latitude ground-based lidars in … Show more

“…To make this comparison, we had to adopt a detection and classification algorithm that follows the same approach and uses the same optical parameters as the v2 CALIOP algorithm (see Figure 7 and [7,20]). This approach seems to be successful and is now also followed by others (see [5]). However, the detection thresholds to distinguish PSCs from background aerosol had to be calculated in a different way.…”

“…Stefanutti [4] reported lidar observations at Dumont D'Urville from 1989 to 1993. Recent PSC observations at Dumon D'Urville have been reported in [5]. A polarization lidar was active at McMurdo from 1989 up to 2010 [6,7], and was transferred to Concordia Station in 2014 [8].…”

“…Several ground-based lidars have been or were operating over sufficiently long periods to allow for the statistical analysis of PSC characteristics at the respective locations. Santacesaria et al (2001) and Tencé et al (2023) compiled such data, although for different periods, for the lidar at the Dumont d'Urville research station in Antarctica. Adriani et al (2004) published a similar survey for McMurdo Station, also in Antarctica.…”
