V. Dreiling et B. Friederich, SPATIAL-DISTRIBUTION OF THE ARCTIC HAZE AEROSOL-SIZE DISTRIBUTION IN WESTERN AND EASTERN ARCTIC, Atmospheric research, 44(1-2), 1997, pp. 133-152
Since June 1993, four flight campaigns to the Arctic have been carried
out by a group of scientists from Russia and Germany. Optical remote-
sensing methods and in-situ chemical and aerosol measurements have bee
n combined on board a Russian IL-18 research aircraft. From arctic air
bases in Siberia, Alaska, Canada, and Spitsbergen, respectively, flig
hts have been undertaken to determine spatial structure of arctic haze
events. This paper reports on aerosol data obtained during the expedi
tion of Spring 1994. Haze events have been found in the east and west
Arctic, containing about the same concentration of particles. Horizont
al and vertical layer extensions are given and the size distribution o
f number and surface is estimated from integral parameters. (C) 1997 E
