This paper presents the results of stratospheric ozone measurements made from Aug 1991 to Dec 1992, by means of differential absorption lidar (DIAL) and an aerosol lidar, above L'Aquila, Italy. The aerosol lidar was necessary to allow separation of the backscatter signal from the aerosol load in the stratosphere from the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. Results of the time development of the aerosol loading, and size distribution are also presented.
