Dynamics of optical parameters of the stratospheric aerosol layer following the eruption of Mt Pinatubo from lidar data

Web of Science: A1997XF40200005International audienceAn experimental investigation of the dynamics of stratospheric aerosol layer following the eruption of Mt, Pinatubo has been carried out at the lidar station of the Stepanov Institute of Physics, Belarussian Academy of Sciences (Minsk, 53.85 degrees N, 27.5 degrees E). Stable regularities in the behavior of the stratospheric aerosol layer following the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo are established from a statistical analysis of vertical profiles of the total-to-Rayleigh backscattering ratio, These profiles are classified and their dynamics are investigated in terms of the profile classes

Two-wavelength lidar measurement technique and data on stratospheric aerosol optical parameters

International audienceSince Mt. Pinatubo eruption, regular lidar sounding of the stratospheric aerosol layer has been carried out at the Institute of Physics, Belarus Academy of Sciences (Minsk, 53.85 °N, 27.5 °E) by means of a two-wavelength polarization lidar. The technique and results of the laser sounding of the stratospheric aerosol are presented in this paper
