This article presents the results of airborne lidar measurements of aerosol and polar stratospheric clouds (PSC) above Kiruna. Polarization measurements allow the distinction between volcanic aerosols, and PSC. They observed PSC formations near Kiruna on December 11, 1991, extending over 100's of km west and east.
