Abstract

During the summer and autumn of 1982, and also during the summer and autumn of 1963, the 30 - mbar temperature rose more than three standard deviations above the 18-year average over tropical latitudes. These warmings are attributed to the stratospheric aerosols produced by the eruptions of Mount Agung in March 1963 and El Chichón in April 1982.
