Abstract

Measurements made with the Atmospheric Trace Molecule Occultation Spectroscopy (ATMOS) FTIR were analyzed. A specific method was used to retrieve vertical profiles of the sulfuric acid mass concentration and acid weight percent for periods in 1992, 1993, and 1994. Good agreement was obtained, with clear evidence for the impact of the Mt. Pinatubo eruption on the stratospheric sulfuric acid aerosol layer.
