Abstract

The differences and similarity of the chemical composition (ions, trace elements, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)) of the near-water atmospheric aerosol collected in summer 2021 along the expedition routes of the R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh in the region of the Kara Sea (the second stage of cruise 83, from June 18 to July 8, 2021), in the Barents Sea, and in the Norwegian-Greenland Basin (cruise 84, from July 24 to August 26) are revealed.
