    Abstract

    In 1994 an intensive program of balloon-borne frostpoint measurements was peformed at McMurdo, Antarctica. During this program a total of 19 frost point soundings was obtained between February 7 and October 5, which cover a wide range of undisturbed through strongly dehydrated situations. Together with several soundings from South Pole station between 1990 and 1994, they give a comprehensive picture of the general development of the dehydration in the Antarctic stratospheric vortex. -from Authors
