The longest continuous record of in situ stratospheric aerosol measurements in the world has been completed at Laramie, Wyoming, 1971-2020, comprising nearly 400 individual balloon flights. These measurements since 1989 are contained in this digital archive. In addition to the flights from Laramie, there are over 100 flights from McMurdo Station, Antarctica, 45 flights from Kiruna, Sweden, and a handful of flights from 13 other locations throughout the world stretching from 45˚S to 68˚N. Scroll to the bottom of this page for the links accessing these data grouped into Mid-latitude, Polar, and Tropical. The measurements from Laramie from 1971 – 1988 are available on the data base of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change at the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change

Deshler, Terry, 2023, "Polar | University of Wyoming Stratospheric Aerosol Measurements", https://doi.org/10.15786/21534945, Wyoming Data Repository, V2
The globally distributed stratospheric aerosol are a constant but highly variable component of the Earth’s atmosphere. They impact climate through their albedo and ozone through heterogeneous chemistry. For these reasons they must be considered in all climate prediction models, and there are a host of measurement platforms to characterize these aer...

Deshler, Terry; Kalnajs, Lars, 2026, "Extinction and Backscatter Cross-Sections by Refractive Index", https://doi.org/10.15786/HVNRHN, Wyoming Data Repository, V1
Ths dataset contains Mie cross-sections for both aerosol extinction and aerosol backscatter. These are provided for individual solution droplets of sulfuric acid and water in the size range from 0.01 - 50 micrometers for selected optical wavelengths of 0.308 to 5.260 micrometers and real indices of referaction from 1.31 - 1.60. Data was collected i...
