Abstract

We analyze the long-term variations in the microstructural characteristics of aerosol in the surface air layer measured in the monitoring mode at the Aerosol Station of V.E. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, in 2000–2020. Estimates are carried out based on the following characteristics: the concentrations of submicron Nf and coarse Nc particles and their ratio Nf /Nc. Two datasets are considered: “total” and separately for the “background” type of the “aerosol weather.” The variability range of the annual average values of the total concentration of particles N(r > 0.2 μm) is found to be 8–50 cm−3, and the aerosol concentrations for the background situations is 5–30 cm−3. No reliable long-term trends in the characteristics under study are revealed. Spectral analysis of the monthly average concentrations for the background dataset showed the presence of a significant (with the 0.95 probability) time period of about a year for Nf /Nc and Nf and its absence for Nc.

The total dataset for the analysis was created based on the sample of microstructure characteristics from the dataset of the multiyear complex observations carried out under the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (V.E. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, project no. 121031500342-0). The rhythms of the time variations in the aerosol concentrations for the total dataset and background conditions are analyzed to correctly take into consideration the specific character of variations in the input parameters to the regional optical-microphysical model for Western Siberia within the Russian Science Foundation project (agreement no. 19-77-20 092).
