Contribution of Volcanic Sulphur Compounds to the Stratospheric Aerosol Layer

SULPHUR bearing compounds constitute a major portion of globally distributed persistent aerosol layer in the lower stratosphere 1–3 and some considerations 1 indicate that the particles are formed in situ , presumably by the oxidation of gases containing sulphur. The relative importance of various t...

Zusammenfassung:SULPHUR bearing compounds constitute a major portion of globally distributed persistent aerosol layer in the lower stratosphere 1–3 and some considerations 1 indicate that the particles are formed in situ , presumably by the oxidation of gases containing sulphur. The relative importance of various terrestrial sources, however, has not been ascertained.
