Interest in stratospheric aerosol and its role in climate have increased over the last decade
due to the observed increase in stratospheric aerosol since 2000 and the potential for …

Volcanic eruptions eject largeamounts of materials into the atmosphere, which can have an
impact on climate. In particular, the sulphur dioxide gas released in the stratosphere leads to …

Intense heating by wildfires can generate deep, smoke-infused thunderstorms, known as
pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb), which can release a large quantity of smoke particles above …

The CALIOP lidar, carried on the CALIPSO satellite, has been acquiring global atmospheric
profiles since June 2006. This dataset now offers the opportunity to characterize the global 3 …

Recent measurements demonstrate that the “background” stratospheric aerosol layer is
persistently variable rather than constant, even in the absence of major volcanic eruptions …

We describe the construction of a continuous 38-year record of stratospheric aerosol optical
properties. The Global Space-based Stratospheric Aerosol Climatology, or GloSSAC …

The variability of stratospheric aerosol loading between 1985 and 2010 is explored with
measurements from SAGE II, CALIPSO, GOMOS/ENVISAT, and OSIRIS/Odin space‐based …

Assessments of climate sensitivity to projected greenhouse gas concentrations underpin
environmental policy decisions, with such assessments often based on model simulations of …

Satellite observations have shown that the Asian Summer Monsoon strongly influences the
upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) aerosol morphology through its role in the …

Extreme pyroconvection events triggered by wildfires in northwest Canada and United
States during August 2017 resulted in vast injection of combustion products into the …
