Abstract:

The paper presents and discusses some results of stationary and field lidar measurements of characteristics of the background stratospheric aerosol layer over Siberian regions from the middle to subpolar latitudes. The summer-fall period in the studied region is characterized by uniform distribution of stratospheric aerosol with its minimum content. Insignificant excess of stratospheric aerosol overburden in the winter-spring period, as compared with the summer-fall level, is due to specific features of the stratospheric circulation and distribution of reservoirs of the background aerosol.
