The results of the atmospheric sea surface layer aerosol composition studies executed during expedition “Sever-2015” on the route from Arkhangelsk to the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago from October 9 to 26, 2015 are presented. The data about mass concentration of black carbon (EBC) obtained with high spatial-temporal resolution in the White, Barents and Kara Seas showed its signifi cant variability: from background values about 20 ng/m3 to values of more than 1000 ng/m3 during periods of air mass transfer from the continent. Cluster analysis of the microstructure of natural arctic aerosols gave possibility to identify the dominant groups of particles of sea salt and calcium sulfate. In case the increase of EBC up to 250 ng/m3 the groups of carbon-containing aerosols and particles rich in sulfur, characteristic for emissions from the combustion of natural fuel were revealed.

Abstract Vortices in the atmospheric surface layer are characterized using observations at unprecedented resolution from a fixed array of 31 turbulence sensors. During the day, these vortices likely are dust devils, though no visual observations are available for confirmation. At night, hairpin vortices appear to have been observed. The structure and dynamics of several types of vortices are described and related to other vortex investigations, including tornadoes and hurricanes.
