Abstract:

The 1995-96 northern hemisphere (NH) winter was colder than any of the previous 17 NH winters, with temperatures continuously below the type 1 polar stratospheric cloud (PSC) threshold for over 2 1/2 months; upper tropospheric ridges in late Feb and early Mar 1996 led to the lowest observed NH winter lower stratospheric temperatures, and the latest observation of HN temperatures below the type 2 PSC threshold.
