Abstract

In this paper, a functional scheme and basic principles of the floating aerosol trap, which has been developed by the authors, are presented. The first experimental results of the vertical aerosol fluxes coming on the Visla Bay surface (the Baltic Sea) and measured with the trap are demonstrated.
