Investigations of the Structure of the Atmospheric Aerosol,

Abstract

Data are presented on weather conditions, altitudes, and equipment of numerous balloon measurements taken between 1964 and 1969. Discussed are meteorological conditions, skybrightness, solar radiation, and aerosol particle size distribution and concentrations at various altitudes. The majority of measurements indicate a considerable degree of stratification of aerosols above the tropopause. The data presented are said to correlate well with the measurements made by Western authors.
