Abstract

This paper describes results of a reasonably extensive series of ambient aerosol measurements conducted for the first time from Mace Head, on the west coast of Ireland. Aerosol size distributions (0.045 < radius, r < 1.5 micrometres (μm)) and basic meteorological parameters were measured under both maritime, modified maritime and continental air mass conditions. It was found that the shape of the size distribution spectra is dependent on air mass source.
