  • 1. Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Tomsk (Russian Federation)

Description

Results of the model estimates of the variability of opto-microphysical characteristics of the stratospheric aerosol in the process of eddy mixing and gravitational sedimentation of an eruptive cloud are discussed. The possible fine spectral structure in backscattering coefficient and lidar ratio variations are analyzed. Estimates show that spectral values of lidar ratio in the interval 30-40 nm about the wavelength λ = 1.06 can change by 200-400% when the process of monodispersity of the coarse fraction culminates. 8 refs., 9 figs., 1 tab
