abstract = {The importance of polar stratospheric clouds (PSC) for
polar ozone depletion is well established. Lidar experiments
are well suited to observe and classify polar stratospheric
clouds. On 5 January 2005 a PSC was observed simultaneously
on the east and west sides of the Scandinavian mountains by
ground-based lidars. This cloud was composed of liquid
particles with a mixture of solid particles in the upper
part of the cloud. Multi-colour measurements revealed that
the liquid particles had a mode radius of r approximate to
300 nm, a distribution width of sigma approximate to 1.04
and an altitude dependent number density of N approximate to
2-20 cm(-3). Simulations with a microphysical box model show
that the cloud had formed about 20 h before observation.
High HNO3 concentrations in the PSC of 40-50 weight percent
were simulated in the altitude regions where the liquid
particles were observed, while this concentration was
reduced to about 10 weight percent in that part of the cloud
where a mixture between solid and liquid particles was
observed by the lidar. The model simulations also revealed a
very narrow particle size distribution with values similar
to the lidar observations. Below and above the cloud almost
no HNO3 uptake was simulated. Although the PSC shows
distinct wave signatures, no gravity wave activity was
observed in the temperature profiles measured by the lidars
and meteorological analyses support this observation. The
observed cloud must have formed in a wave field above
Iceland about 20h prior to the measurements and the cloud
wave pattern was advected by the background wind to
Scandinavia. In this wave field above Iceland temperatures
potentially dropped below the ice formation temperature, so
that ice clouds may have formed which can act as
condensation nuclei for the nitric acid trihydrate (NAT)
particles observed at the cloud top above Esrange.},
