Summary
Abstract: INDICATOR DEFINITION
Lidar observations at Davis Station, Antarctica, are used to obtain monthly average values of the temperature at the stratopause, the altitude of the stratopause, and the temperature and altitude of the 0.5hPa pressure level.

TYPE OF INDICATOR
There are three types of indicators used in this report:
1.Describes the CONDITION of important elements of a system;
2.Show the ... View entire text

Quality The raw data used in the analysis of this indicator are obtained from observations by the Davis Lidar in Rayleigh and Doppler modes. In Rayleigh mode, the raw data consist of profiles of the intensity of 532nm laser backscatter versus altitude. The backscatter profiles are converted to profiles of absolute total molecular density using in-situ or extrapolated density measurements for the altitude ... View entire text
