Scientific paper

Solar spectral extinction measurements made with a solar photometer aboard a NASA research aircraft, whose flights were conducted during May, July, and December 1982 over a range of latitudes, are presently used to derive aerosol optical thicknesses. The large thickness increases over background levels found at all latitudes studied for the stratosphere are attributed to the El Chichon eruption cloud. The spectral dependence of the aerosol optical thickness, which is different on one side of 30 deg N latitude from the other side, suggests that the two portions of the cloud have different aerosol size distributions.
