Characterization of stratospheric particle size distribution uncertainties using SAGE II and SAGE III/ISS extinction spectra
Abstract ≈ 25 % accurate for mode radius and has a minor dependence on particle composition. While bimodal solutions were obtained from this algorithm, we provide a conclusive demonstration of how and why these estimates are inherently unstable using SAGE III/ISS extinction spectra alone. Finally, we demonstrated how the Hunga Tonga aerosol plume evolved in regard to both size and transport over 18 months after the 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption. The particle size distribution (PSD) estimates, higher-moment parameters, and uncertainties are new products within the SAGE III/ISS Level 2 (L2) products, are currently available for download, and will be merged into the main SAGE III/ISS release products in a subsequent L2 release.
