A new instrument for simultaneously measuring aerosol diameter from 0.4-1.4 {mu}m and the refractive index between 1.30-1.60 has recently been flown on the NASA ER-2 aircraft during a stratospheric measurement campaign. Average stratospheric refractive indices varied from 1.40 to 1.46 over a vertical range from 4-20 km. The measured stratospheric refractive indices do not agree well with theoretical predictions and vertical profiles suggest the presence of non-spherical or absorbing particles in the altitude range of 7-9 km. 17 refs., 4 fig.
