Aerosol extinction profiles obtained from lidar data at Trivandrum (8.6°N, 77°E) are compared with corresponding Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) II extinction profiles. The agreement between the two is found to be satisfactory. The extinction profiles obtained by both the experiments showed a prominent peak at 23–24 km altitude in the stratosphere. The study revealed large variability in upper tropospheric extinction with location (latitude).
