摘要：

Zonal bands of stratospheric aerosol optical depth are observed by various sensors under both volcanic and non-volcanic conditions. Maximum optical depths occur within the tropics and at high latitudes, while minima are found between latitudes of approximately 15-degrees and 45-degrees. This structure is shown to result from a reservoir of aerosol over the tropics, poleward transport, and the departure of the tropopause from isentropic surfaces.
