Scientific paper

Lidar measurements of vertical aerosol distributions from late summer 2008 indicate the presence of unusual aerosol layers in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere over Halifax, Nova Scotia in Eastern Canada (44.64°N, 63.59°W). Trajectory analyses indicate that the sources of the aerosol layers were the explosive 7-8 August eruptions of Kasatochi volcano in the Aleutian Volcanic Arc (52.17°N, 175.51°W). The aerosol plumes were detected on multiple days throughout August and September by the Dalhousie Raman Lidar. A new high-altitude receiver addition to the lidar system is being used to enhance investigation of the optical characteristics as well as the vertical and temporal structures of the observed volcanic aerosol layers.
