Using a Gardner Small Particle Detector, the concentrations of aerosol in the submicron size range 10−7 to 10−5 cm, also known as Aitken nuclei have been monitored at the Maitree Hills station in Antarctica during the summer from 14 January to 11 February 1987. In addition, the vertical distribution of concentrations of these nuclei from surface to 2 km level was measured both over the Maitree Hills region and in the vicinity of the Dakshin Gangotri station on the ice shelf
