摘要
A lidar system has operating at McMurdo Station on yearly basis since 1993. In this paper the first statistics on PSCs above that site for years from 1993 to 1995 is presented. The statistics gives a maximum of occurrence above 60 % at pressure levels of 20 hPa. The polar stratospheric clouds have been divided in two separate classes according to their depolarisation characteristics. The statistics shows those classes well separated in terms of altitudes temperatures and periods of occurrence.
