Aerosol concentrations and size distribution in the troposphere and lower stratosphere over Thumba

Rocketborne UV photometers operating at lambda =0.31 mu m have been used at Thumba (8 degrees 33'N, 76 degrees 52'E) to make measurements of atmospheric scattering at tropospheric and lower stratospheric altitudes. Measurements could be made of the amplitude of the scattered fluxes and the...

Description
Summary:Rocketborne UV photometers operating at lambda =0.31 mu m have been used at Thumba (8 degrees 33'N, 76 degrees 52'E) to make measurements of atmospheric scattering at tropospheric and lower stratospheric altitudes. Measurements could be made of the amplitude of the scattered fluxes and the angular distribution to an altitude of similar to 24 km on three rocket flights conducted as part of the Feb. 16, 1980, solar eclipse campaign. These measurements have been used to study the size distribution as well as the number densities of aerosols in the troposphere and lower stratosphere over Thumba.
