Atmospheric Effects (1980-1989)

All times are local (unless otherwise noted)


Integrated aerosol backscattering remained about the same over Mauna Loa, Hawaii and decreased slightly over Hampton, Virginia in March. Lidar data from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany showed little change in altitudes of aerosol layers or peak backscattering ratios during winter 1984-85. No new aerosol layers were reported.
