This paper presents results from lidar measurements made at Sodankyla (67[degrees]N) of stratospheric aerosols during EASOE. The lidar was capable to resolving size distributions into the micron size range, and by polarization techniques distinguishing PSC formations. Volcanic gas source aerosols were observed to be .1 to .3 microns in mean radius between 17 and 22 km, and larger below this altitude.
