Abstract
Simultaneous aerosol measurements with particle counters and a multiwavelength integrating nephelometer have been made at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard (12° E, 79° N). The measured integral aerosol properties were used in an inversion procedure to derive a consistent model of the particle size distribution of Arctic haze. The obtained size distribution is compared to the global background aerosol size distribution. Both the light scattering coefficients and the total suspended volume of particles were found to be on the level of the global background. DOI: 10.1111/j.2153-3490.1980.tb00952.xKeywords
