Abstract

The article presents a study which investigates the impact of cloud over snow and ice on the absorption of ozone in Antarctica. The study made use of Aqua MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud top pressure and Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) effective scene pressure to find non-shielding and shielding clouds. The result of the study shows that shielding clouds are seen on clouds optical thickness while non-shielding clouds are seen in lower cloud optical thickness.
