Abstract

Abstract

The temporal and spatial distributions of aerosols were investigated by using aerosol data collected over the East China Sea. The main results are as follows:Due to the influence of Asian continent, the distinct temporal and spatial distributions of crustal and pollution elements were presented. Their concentrations decreased from the Huanghai Sea, the East China Sea to the northwest of the Pacific Ocean. In the spring, the concentrations of crustal elements decreased with their distance to the coast in an exponential decay pattern. The pollution element concentrations depended mainly on their continent sources and distances from continent. The seasonal pattern of crustal and pollution element concentrations indicated that they were the highest in the spring, moderate in the autumn and winter, the lowest in the summer. The principal factors to determine the seasonal variations of atmospheric aerosols from continental source were the intensity of their continental source, the amount and distrihution of rainfall. and the large scale weather situation.
