Atmospheric Effects (1980-1989)
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
Stratospheric aerosols produced by the 1982 eruption of El Chichón continued to be measured over Virginia and Hawaii in July. A tropospheric layer, perhaps smoke from major forest fires in the western United States was detected over Virginia on 9 July, but no such layer was present 9 days later. Peak and integrated backscattering remained similar to values of the past few months, but were distinctly lower than the beginning of this year.
