STRATOSPHERIC AEROSOLS

Item #d95jan63

"Changes in Stratospheric Aerosols and Solar Insolation Due to Mt. Pinatubo Eruption as Observed over the Western Pacific," T. Hayasaka (Ctr. Atmos. & Oceanic Studies, Tohoku Univ., Sendai 980-77, Japan), N. Iwasaka et al., Geophys. Res. Lett., 21(12), 1137-1140, June 15, 1994.

Shipboard measurements showed that solar insolation decreased after the eruption by about 1.4-4.1%. This value is larger than that calculated with radiative transfer code, based on the aerosol model estimated from sunphotometry.
