TI  - Optical and physical properties of stratospheric aerosols from balloon 
      measurements in the visible and near-infrared domains. 1. Analysis of aerosol 
      extinction spectra from the AMON and SALOMON balloonborne spectrometers.
PG  - 7522-39
AB  - Aerosol extinction coefficients have been derived in the 375-700-nm spectral 
      domain from measurement in the stratosphere since 1992, at night, at mid- and 
      high latitudes from 15 to 40 km, by two balloonborne spectrometers, Absorption 
      par les Minoritaires Ozone et NO(chi) (AMON) and Spectroscopie d'Absorption 
      Lunaire pour l'Observation des Minoritaires Ozone et NO(chi) (SALOMON). 
      Log-normal size distributions associated with the Mie-computed extinction spectra 
      that best fit the measurements permit calculation of integrated properties of the 
      distributions. Although measured extinction spectra that correspond to background 
      aerosols can be reproduced by the Mie scattering model by use of monomodal 
      log-normal size distributions, each flight reveals some large discrepancies 
      between measurement and theory at several altitudes. The agreement between 
      measured and Mie-calculated extinction spectra is significantly improved by use 
      of bimodal log-normal distributions. Nevertheless, neither monomodal nor bimodal 
      distributions permit correct reproduction of some of the measured extinction 
      shapes, especially for the 26 February 1997 AMON flight, which exhibited spectral 
      behavior attributed to particles from a polar stratospheric cloud event.
