Abstract:

The basic results on lidar sounding of the vertical aerosol structure in the upper troposphere and stratospheric over Tomsk for the period 2008-2009 are given. Results of modernized lidar complex are shown. The observations of volcanic and background aerosol, executed by the modern lidar complex are presented. Seasonal features of aerosol stratification in the upper troposphere and a stratosphere over Tomsk, revealed earlier, are confirmed. Dynamics of transfer of the eruptive aerosol from volcanic eruptions in islands of Aleutian and Kuril chains is traced over Western Siberia. Isolated cases of the appearance of an aerosol layer in the troposphere from Eyyafyatlayokudl are also reported.
