Retrieval of stratospheric aerosol size information from OSIRIS limb scattered sunlight spectra

Recent work has shown that the retrieval of stratospheric aerosol vertical profiles is possible using limb scattered sunlight measurements at optical wavelengths. The aerosol number density profile is retrieved for an assumed particle size distribution and composition. This result can be used to der...
