abstract = {Altitude-resolved aerosol detection in the upper
troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) is a challenging
task for remote sensing instruments. Infrared limb emission
measurements provide vertically resolved global measurements
at day- and nighttime in the UTLS. For
high-spectral-resolution infrared limb instruments we
present here a new method to detect aerosol and separate
between ice and non-ice particles. The method is based on an
improved aerosol–cloud index that identifies infrared limb
emission spectra affected by non-ice aerosol or ice clouds.
For the discrimination between non-ice aerosol and ice
clouds we employed brightness temperature difference
correlations. The discrimination thresholds for this method
were derived from radiative transfer simulations (including
scattering) and Michelson Interferometer for Passive
Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS)/Envisat measurements obtained
in 2011. We demonstrate the value of this approach for
observations of volcanic ash and sulfate aerosol originating
from the Grímsvötn (Iceland, 64° N), Puyehue–Cordón
Caulle (Chile, 40° S), and Nabro (Eritrea, 13° N)
eruptions in May and June 2011 by comparing the MIPAS
volcanic aerosol detections with Atmospheric Infrared
Sounder (AIRS) volcanic ash and SO2 measurements.},
