Problems of the distribution of the global aerosol

R. Jaenicke

Institute of Meteorology, University of Mainz, Germany

Abstract: In view of the short residence time of the aerosol in the atmosphere, knowledge of its distribution in space is essential for the understanding of many processes associated with this distribution, for example, the formation of clouds and hence of the entire cloud cover over the Earth's sphere. This review considers both the distribution of aerosol particles with respect to size (from the standpoint of chemical and physical characteristics) and the distribution of aerosols in space in a broad sense of this term.
