Abstract

Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSC) appear in the polar zones of the Earth in the winter. These clouds are known to cause enhanced chemical ozone destruction. Methods for optical remote-sensing of PSC in use or under development at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics are discussed with respect to their advantages and limitations. Especially multistatic imaging may become a valuable additional tool for PSC studies.
