Aerosol evaluation was found to be necessary to explain the 30 mb temperature increases observed in July-Oct. 1982 in comparison with averages for the period 1964-1981. An average difference of 1-1.5 C was determined at 30 mb, coinciding with 1 C deviations at the 50 mb level, for the first half of 1982. The 30 mb differences increased to 4.5-5 C, compared to the 18 yr average, during the July-Oct. period. GOES satellite imagery indicated that material from the El Chichon volcano eruptions had entered the stratosphere. Lidar backscattering ratios indicated the preponderance of the material resided in the 22-28 km interval. Airborne lidar measurements on two occasions confirmed the anomalies' presence south of 30 deg N latitude. Further monitoring of the aerosol evolution is indicated.
