Scientific paper

Research conducted during CHEOPS 3 is discussed whose goal is the development of a method for identifying polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) from the ground by the use of spectrometric measurements. A simple single scattering model shows that high-altitude PSCs are responsible for reddenings, while blueings are caused by lower, optically thicker clouds. During CHEOPS, reddenings were correlated to temperature below that of nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) condensation at 30 hPa, while blueings occurred at temperatures below NAT condensation at 50 hPa.
