Analysis of variability and the interrelations between characteristics of atmospherics aerosols according to data of multiyear measurements along eastern route of Russian Antarctic expeditions

In period of 2004-2015, we carried out yearly measurements of aerosol characteristics on one and the same route of Russian Antarctic expeditions in the Eastern Atlantic. Based on data obtained in 13 expeditions, in the report we discuss interrelations between different aerosol parameters, measured in the near-ground layer and in the entire atmospheric depth: number concentrations of small (d = 0.4-1 μm) and large (d > 1 μm) particles, mass concentrations of aerosol and black carbon, aerosol optical depth (AOD) of the atmosphere, its fine and coarse components, and selectivity indices of spectral AOD behavior. Correlations between aerosol parameters over ocean are analyzed for the total dataset, for separate latitude zones (regions).
