This paper summarizes lidar measurements of stratospheric aerosols spanning the latitude range from 44[degrees]N to 79[degrees]N, during the period of the EASOE campaign. The Arctic region measurements show no aerosol content above roughly 16 km, but the density is fairly constant at lower altitudes independent of latitude. The authors argue this indicates latitudinal transport of aerosol throughout the winter.
