What Does PSC Stand For?
PSC stands for Polar Stratospheric Clouds In Antarctic
PSC, or Polar Stratospheric Clouds in Antarctic, refers to a type of cloud formation that occurs in the polar stratosphere during the Antarctic winter. These clouds, composed primarily of ice crystals and nitric acid, play a crucial role in stratospheric chemistry and are significant contributors to ozone depletion. Their formation is linked to extremely low temperatures and specific atmospheric conditions unique to the polar regions, making them a critical subject of study in atmospheric science and climate research.
