Balloonborne measurements of the Pinatubo aerosol size distribution and volatility at Laramie, Wyoming during the summer of 1991
Abstract
Measurements using balloonborne optical particle counters at Laramie, Wyoming during the summer of 1991 are used to study the particle size distribution and volatility of the aerosol which formed in the stratosphere following the mid‐June eruptions of Mt. Pinatubo. Enhanced aerosol layers were observed below 20 km as early as 16 July, about 1 month after the eruption. During late July, a transient though substantial particle layer was observed in the 23 km region. High concentrations of large particles in this high altitude layer resulted in aerosol mass mixing ratios as large as 0.5 ppm, considerably larger than observed following the eruption of El Chichón. Aerosol volatility tests indicated that well over 90% of the particles were composed of an H 2 SO 4/H 2 O solution in all layers observed, indicating rapid conversion of SO 2 to H 2 SO 4 and subsequent droplet growth. High concentrations of droplets suggest homogeneous or ion nucleation as the most likely aerosol production mechanism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
