The Polar Stratospheric Cloud (PSC) Song by Lamont Poole (circa 1989)
This kinda summarizes all you just learned in a song.
(music begins)
Growing, growing, growing
As the vapor's flowing
Larger sizes showing - Type 1s
As the sun is falling
More subroutines we're calling
Relaxing to equilibrium
Bring it in, soak it up, add it up, and send it back
Make some more Type 1s
PSCs, of course
Freezing, freezing, freezing
Our results are pleasing
Water vapor squeezing - Type 2s
Rod and Susan sit there placid
Making brand new nitric acid
Heterogeneously
Bring it in, soak it up, add it up, and send it back
Make some more Type 2s
(Here's the really good chemistry part)
PSCs will surely titrate
HCl and chlorine nitrate
Which in the sun will make more ClO
We've discovered in Stavanger
Arctic ozone is in danger
And this year is likely not atypical
Do we want to all die?
Our results do not lie
Get rid of CFCs
