All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
Lidar data has continued to show gradual declines in stratospheric aerosols (figure 65). Aerosol concentrations over Obninsk, USSR were more variable than from other sites during summer 1988, but generally declined from April-June values. No large explosive eruptions have been reported in recent months and no fresh aerosol layers have been observed.
