Lidar observations of the Pinatubo aerosol layer at Thule, Greenland

This paper summarizes lidar measurements from Thule Greenland made during EASOE. The lidar was able to track aerosols, primarily of volcanic origin, through the winter. Above 18 km the aerosol content was strongly dependent upon the location of the vortex, and did not show a substantial increase until the vortex broke up.
