Abstract:

The results of chemical analysis of aerosol samples from station "Tiksi" (coast of the Laptev sea) during the fall and winter of 1995/96 are presented, in comparison with those for the continental regions (Irkutsk and "Mondy" Station in Eastern Sayan). The ion composition of samples has been studied using liquid chromatography (anions) and atomic absorption (cations) techniques. The element composition has been determined using the X-ray fluorescence technique. Possible mechanisms of aerosol formation above the Arctic coast of Siberia are discussed.
