Abstract
During the polar expedition Arktis-III in May 1985, the sea salt aerosol mass concentration in air adjacent to the sea surface, the whitecap coverage, and the meteorological and hydrographic conditions were investigated. The relations between sea salt aerosol mass concentration, whitecap coverage and wind speed as indicators of air/sea interaction were determined. An influence of the static stability at the air/sea interface on the amount of aerosol emission processes from the sea surface was detected. The results also demonstrate the possibility to use the sea aerosol characteristics as an air mass indicator in conditions of low level atmospheric advection.
