Abstract

In 2006–2010 in the 52–56th Russian Antarctic Expedition on the route RV "Akademik Fedorov" detailed measurements of the microphysical and chemical properties of aerosols were carried out along with detailed measurements of meteorological parameters and the parameters of the navigation upper ocean layer. We analyze the latitudinal distribution and interannual variability of integral aerosol parameters: aerosol number concentration Na, aerosol mass concentration Ma and aerosol mass concentration of “soot” (black carbon) Mвс, the chemical composition of the soluble fraction of aerosol in the drive due to the variability of meteorological parameters on the transatlantic sectional view, taken in 2006–2010 years.
