Entry ID: Boundary_layer_aerosol_properties_at_Aboa_QML

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Physical and chemical properties of boundary layer aerosols have been measured at the Finnish Antarctic research station Aboa in Queen Maud Land (73 degrees 03' S, 13 degrees 25' W). The measurements have been conducted in austral summers 1997/1998, 1999/2000, 2000/2001, 2003/2004, 2004/2005 and 2006/2007.
