Abstract

Measurements of the direct sunlight in the UV/VIS have been performed in the Arctic, theAntarctica and Germany to obtain the aerosol optical depth. The aerosol optical depth has been inverted in two ways to get the aerosol size distribution. The results show that in the Arctic due to the continental influence the values for the aerosol optical depth and for the number and size of aerosols are much higher than in the Antarctica. In both regions aerosol fluctuations and bimodal distributions can be observed. © 1991 Pergamon Press plc.
