Abstract
The dynamics of formation of a stratospheric aerosol is traced on the basis of a one-dimensional photochemical model of a horizontally homogeneous atmosphere allowing for only vertical transfer of impurities. Calculations show that below 30 km sulfur is mainly in the form of CSO, whereas at higher altitudes it is in the form of sulfuric acid.
