Using a recently installed lidar, a series of measurements of aerosol concentrations have been carried out between 12-1991 and 3-1992. This work was in conjunction with the European Arctic Stratospheric Ozone Experiment. Scattering ratios were very high because of the presence of aerosols from the Mt Pinatubo volcanic eruption. Ozone observations were made in this period by sondes. This paper reports on correlations between these observations. The correlations observed were not always positive. Both observations saw distinct layered structures representing density variations with height.
