RISA Comparison of Lidar and Balloon-Borne Particle Counter Measurements of the Stratospheric Aerosol 1974–1980
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We compare a series of 85 dustsonde measurements and 84 lidar measurements made in midlatitude North America during 1974?80. This period includes two major volcanic increases (Fuego in 1974 and St. Helens in 1980), as well ...
A One-Dimensional Model Describing Aerosol Formation and Evolution in the Stratosphere: I. Physical Processes and Mathematical Analogs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have developed a time-dependent one-dimensional model of the stratospheric sulfate aerosol layer. In constructing the model, we have incorporated a wide range of basic physical and chemical processes in order to avoid ...
A One-Dimensional Model Describing Aerosol Formation and Evolution in the Stratosphere: II. Sensitivity Studies and Comparison with Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have performed sensitivity tests on a one-dimensional physical-chemical model of the unperturbed stratospheric aerosols and have compared model calculations with observations. The sensitivity tests and comparisons with ...
Stratospheric Aerosol Modification by Supersonic Transport and Space Shuttle Operations—Climate Implications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have estimated the potential effects on stratospheric aerosols of supersonic transport emissions of sulfur dioxide gas and submicron soot granules, and space shuttle rocket emissions of aluminum oxide particulates. ...
