The ion concentration and conductivity can be greatly affected by the aerosol buildup in the boundary layer and a dramatic change in these quantities is often observed at or near the altitude of the defining inversion. The size distribution of aerosols near the surface of the Earth has frequently been approximated with a powerlaw function (Junge, 1963~.

Both profiles show a relatively large drop in the on concentration just above the surface, a relatively constant mixing ratio throughout most of the troposphere, and a noticeable drop in concentration near the tropopause. An example of the influence of volcanic eruptions on the size distributions of stratospheric aerosols is illustrated in Figure 12.4.
