A review of global stratospheric aerosol: Measurements, importance, life cycle, and local stratospheric aerosol (2008, methodology): “At these temperatures the concentration of NAT particles is often at best only 0.001 of the aerosol population (Fahey et al., 2001; Deshler et al., 2003b; Larsen et al., 2004) indicating clearly a nucleation barrierwhich is not well understood.”
Observations of the eruption of the Sarychev volcano and simulations using the HadGEM2 climate model. (2010, methodology): “Measurements of stratospheric aerosol suggest two accumulation modes [ Deshler et al. , 2003], the largest mode probably develops due to the extreme lifetime of stratospheric aerosol leading to growth by particle coagulation and is not modeled in our study: even dedicated complex stratospheric…”
Total volcanic stratospheric aerosol optical depths and implications for global climate change (2014, methodology): “The Laramie data extend from the surface to typically 30 km [Deshler et al., 2003].”
Global volcanic aerosol properties derived from emissions, 1990–2014, using CESM1(WACCM) (2016, background): “The University of Wyoming balloon-borne OPC has provided a consistent record of in situ vertical profiles of size-resolved aerosol concentrations at Laramie (41°N, 105°W) since 1971 [Deshler et al., 2003].”
