Aerosol Measurements in the Marine Boundary Layer at San Diego.

Abstract

The temporal and spatial variability of the aerosol size distribution in the marine boundary layer for different meteorological conditions has been determined using fixed ground based and airborne aerosol size spectrometers. The horizontal and vertical variability of the distributions and corresponding calculated extinction coefficients, and the total liquid water content for both clear air and for a Santa Ana related fog event are discussed.
