Coarse Aerosol Concentration Over the North Polar Waters of the Atlantic

摘要

This paper presents the data obtained during the polar research cruises of the r/v Oceania in 1995-2001.The aerosol size distributions were measured using the laser particle counter CSASP-100-HV-SP.The size spectral density between diameters 0.5-15 mu m was found to fit the following form:dN/dr = n(2r)= exp(a2r + b),where:a = -0.29 and b are functions of wind speed.Additionally,poor precision of the sea spray emission determination using only the aerosol concentration data measured at one altitude was confirmed.
