University of Saskatchewan Derived Stratospheric Aerosol Particle Size Distribution Parameters from SAGE III/ISS Extinction Spectra

SAGE III/ISS extinction spectra are used to derive stratospheric aerosol size parameters with an optimal estimation retrieval technique. A log-normal particle size distribution is assumed with a fixed width of 1.6, and aerosol composition is assumed to be 75% H2SO4. Effective radius values are provided at the SAGE III/ISS native resolution in a monthly NetCDF file format.
