Impact of a moderate volcanic eruption on chemistry in the lower stratosphere: balloon-borne observations and model calculations

The major volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 has been shown to have significant effects on stratospheric chemistry and ozone depletion even at midlatitudes. Since then, only <q>moderate</q> but recurrent volcanic eruptions have modulated the stratospheric aerosol loading and are...
