Ship-borne lidar measurements of the scattering ratios of the Pinatubo aerosol layer, obtained on 48 days during the period from July 11 to September 21, 1991, are presented. The data indicate that the aerosol cloud is primarily in the 16-27 km altitude region, with a high degree of variability in the vertical and longitudinal structures, and to a lesser degree, in the latitudinal structure. Scattering ratios of up to 50 percent were recorded in a frequently observed multilayered structure. The latitudinal dispersion rates for the observation period are estimated at about 5 deg per month. A horizontal and vertical smearing effect is observed in the aerosol cloud structure, which is ascribed to turbulent diffusion. The periodic variability observed in the vertical structure indicates that large aerosol features are repeatedly passing overhead.
