摘要
A global aerosol climatology is evolving from the NASA satellite experiments SAM II, SAGE I, and SAGE II. In addition, polar stratospheric cloud (PSC) data have been obtained from these experiments over the last decade. This paper will describe an updated reference model of the optical characteristics of the background aerosol and propose a new aerosol reference model derived from the latest available data. The aerosol models are referenced to the height above the tropopause. The impact of a number of volcanic eruptions will be described. In addition, a model describing the seasonal, longitudinal, and interannual variations in PSCs will be presented.
