Abstract
Results of 3 year-long studies of the biogenic component of the atmospheric aerosol in the south of West Siberia using terrestrial measurements and aircraft monitoring of the atmosphere and analysis of collected snow cover samples are presented. The seasonal dynamics of the content of components of this biogenic component has been obtained, their possible local and remote sources have been determined. It has been demonstrated that maximal and minimal values of concentration of total protein in the atmosphere differ by about an order, and the concentration of microorganisms does so by more than 2 orders. At the same time, the found values are quite consistent with literature data for other regions. On the basis of the data obtained, it is hypothesized that the main contribution to the biogenic component of the atmospheric aerosol even during the spring-summer period is made not by local, but by remote sources of bio-aerosols. Mathematical models are proposed which permit making definite conclusions about the localization of these sources. It is demonstrated that the greatest influence on this region is exerted by the sources situated in Middle Asia and North-West Kazakhstan.
