The effect of mixing height on maritime aerosol concentrations over the north atlantic ocean
Abstract An empirical investigation of the effect of the stability of the atmosphere on near‐surface maritime aerosol concentrations is presented. the data base consists of an extensive series of aerosol experiments conducted on the western coast of the Outer Hebrides. In the absence of any well‐def...
