Printed in Great Britain. Pergamon Press plc NORTH ATLANTIC AEROSOL REMOTE CONCENTRATIONS MEASURED AT A HEBRIDEAN COASTAL SITE
Abstract--During a study of marine aerosol characteristics ata coastal site on South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, early in August 1986, an extended period with untypically low wind speeds (below 7 m s-1) was experienced. Over this period, lasting several days, very low particle concentrations were me...
