Abstract
The results of two-site measurements of aerosol optical depth (AOD) of the atmosphere in Primorye (Vladivostok - village Gornotayezhnoe, a distance of 60 km), near Tomsk (Akademgorodok - observatory “Fonovaya”, 60 km), the western and eastern coasts of the lake Baikal ( 69 km) are considered. It is shown that the level of turbidity of the atmosphere over Vladivostok is higher than over the remote inland area. Moreover, the main contribution to the differences is caused by high content of the coarse aerosol, obviously of marine origin, in the atmosphere over Vladivostok (compared with village Gornotayezhnoe). The difference between the measurement sites in other two regions does not exceed the error in determining the AOD.
