Description
In this article, we present aerosol optical thickness data, computed from the aerosol extinctions measured by the ORA experiment at 1013 nm. Temporal and latitudinal dependences are discussed for the period Aug. 1992 - May 1993. A comparison with SAGE II optical thickness data is presented, and shows good agreement.
