Year-round stratospheric aerosol backscatter ratios calculated from lidar measurements above northern Norway

<p>We present a new method for calculating backscatter ratios of the stratospheric sulfate aerosol (SSA) layer from daytime and nighttime lidar measurements. Using this new method we show a first year-round dataset of stratospheric aerosol backscatter ratios at high latitudes. The SSA layer is...
