Seasonal and annual variations of aerosol concentrations in the troposphere and stratosphere over Syowa Station observed by a balloon-borne optical particle counter

This report summarizes observations of tropospheric and stratospheric aerosols by a balloon-borne optical particle counter (Aerosol sonde) performed at Syowa Station from April 1997 to January 2008. Typical seasonal changes in the stratospheric aerosol layer were characterized by sedimentations of t...
