To examine the fluctuations of aerosol number concentration with different size in the boundary layer of marine area during summer season, aerosol particles were assayed in the Ieodo Ocean Research Station, which is located 419 km southwest of Marado, the southernmost island of Korea, from 24 June to 4 July, 2008. The Laser Particle Counter (LPC) was used to measure the size of aerosol particles and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data and sounding data were used to analyze the synoptic condition. The distribution of aerosol number concentration had a large variation from bigger particles more than 3 ${\mu}m$ in diameter to smaller particles more than 1 ${\mu}m$ in diameter with wind direction during precipitation. The aerosol number concentration decreased with increasing temperature. An increase (decrease) of small size of aerosol (0.3${\sim}$0.5 ${\mu}m$ in diameter) number concentration was induced by convergence (divergence) of the wind fields. The aerosol number concentration of bigger size more than 3 ${\mu}m$ in diameter after precipitation was removed as much as 89${\sim}$94% compared with aerosol number concentration before precipitation. It is considered that the larger aerosol particles would be more efficient for scavenging at marine boundary layer. In addition, the aerosol number concentration with divergence and convergence could be related with the occurrence and mechanism of aerosol in marine boundary layer.

To investigate variation of aerosol number concentration at each different size with three-dimensional (3D) wind components in ocean area, aerosol particles and 3D wind components were measured in the Ieodo Ocean Research Station, which is located to 419 km southwest from Marado, the southernmost island of Korea, from 25 June to 8 July 2010. The Laser Particle Counter (LPC) and ultrasonic anemometer were used to measure the size of aerosol particles and 3D wind components (zonal (u), meridional (v), and vertical (w) wind) respectively. Surface weather chart, NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data and sounding data were used to analyze the synoptic condition. The distribution of aerosol number concentration had a large variation from bigger particles more than 1.0 ${\mu}m$ in diameter by wind direction during precipitation. In the number concentration of aerosol particles with respect to the weather conditions, particles larger than 1.0 ${\mu}m$ in size were decreased and sustained to the similar concentration at smaller particles during precipitation. The increase in aerosol number concentration was due to the sea-salt particles which was suspended by southwesterly and upward winds. In addition, the aerosol number concentration with vertical wind flow could be related with the occurrence and increasing mechanism of aerosol in marine boundary layer.

해양에서 발달하는 강수시스템의 연직풍에 따라 변동하는 해양성 에어러솔의 입경별 특성을 알아보기 위하여 마라도에서 남서쪽으로 419 km 지점에 위치한 이어도 해양종합과학기지에서 2009년 6월 8일부터 22일까지 에어러솔수 농도와 연직풍 관측을 실시하였다. 에어러솔 수 농도와 연직풍은 레이저입자계수기와 초음파 3차원 풍향 풍속계를 이용하였으며, 지상일기도, NCEP/NCAR 재분석자료, 라디오존데 자료를 이용하여 종관상태를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 전체적으로 1.0 ${\mu}m$ 이상의 크기의 에어러솔 수 농도 분포가 강수 중에 크게 변동하였으며, 하강류에서 상승류로 연직풍이 변함에 따라 크게 증가하였다. 강수 중에는 큰 입자(1.0 ${\mu}m$ 이상)의 에어러솔 수 농도가 약 5배 증가하였고, 이때 상승류가 약 0.4 $ms^{-1}$로 나타났다. 또한 축적모드(1.0 ${\mu}m$ 미만)와 큰 입자(1.0 ${\mu}m$ 이상)의 에어러솔 수 농도는 강수 중과 비교하여 약 45%와 92%가 제거되었다. 이는 독립된 해양지역에서의 큰 입자(1.0 ${\mu}m$ 이상) 에어러솔 수 농도 증가는 수평풍 보다는 상승류에 의해 크게 영향을 받고, 강수에 의한 세정효과도 나타났다. 따라서 해양경계층 내 에어러솔의 생성 및 발달 메커니즘에 상승류의 영향이 크게 기인함을 알 수 있었다.

Total number concentration of aerosols larger than 10 nm ($N_{CN10}$), 3 nm ($N_{CN3}$), and cloud condensation nuclei ($N_{CCN}$) were measured during four different ship cruises over the Yellow Sea. Average values of $N_{CN10}$ and $N_{CCN}$ at 0.6% supersaturation were 6914 and $3353cm^{-3}$, respectively, and the minimum value of $N_{CN10}$ was $2000cm^{-3}$, suggesting significant anthropogenic influence even at relatively clean marine environment. Although $N_{CN10}$ and $N_{CN3}$ increased near the coast due to anthropogenic influence, $N_{CCN}$ was relatively constant and therefore $N_{CCN}/N_{CN10}$ ratio tended to decrease, suggesting that coastal aerosols were relatively less hygroscopic. In general $N_{CN10}$, $N_{CN3}$, and $N_{CCN}$ during the cruises seemed to be significantly influenced by wet scavenging effects (e.g. fog) and boundary layer height variation. Only one new particle formation (NPF) event was observed during the measurement period. Interestingly, the NPF event occurred during a dust storm event and spatial scale of the NPF event was estimated to be larger than 100 km. These results demonstrate that aerosol and CCN concentration over the Yellow Sea can vary due to various different factors.
