Abstract
Aerosol particles were collected at China and Japan in the same spring Asian dust-storm event of 1991 in order to study the change in composition of mineral aerosol particles during long range transport. It was found on the basis of a microchemical analysis that dust particles containing Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca and Fe were a major fraction of the aerosol particles collected at Hohhot and Beijing, China, and Nagasaki, Japan. A large fraction of the mineral aerosol particles was internally mixed with sea salt in Nagasaki. Present study suggests that the internal mixed particles were mainly produced by cloud processes through droplet coalescence.
