Balloon-borne observation at three wavelengths of visible sunlight scattered by the Earth limb allows the determination of aerosols abundances and size distributions at various altitudes in the stratosphere. The stratospheric aerosols are apparently still under the influence of the Mount St Helens volcanic eruption five months after its occurrence on 18 May 1980.
