Abstract
RESULTS of theoretical calculations on lidar backscatter from the stratospheric aerosol are presented here. The calculations use the size distribution, particle number density and particle composition predicted by a one-dimensional model of the stratospheric aerosol layer. The theoretically calculated back-scatter profile is compared with experimental results obtained from actual lidar observations of the layer.
