| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Measurements of carbonaceous aerosols were conducted in the Antarctic coasts and southern ocean. Black carbon (BC) concentrations at Syowa Station ranged in <0.2-63.8 ng m-3 (median, 1.8 ng m-3; mean, 2.7 ng m-3) in 2005-2016 and had maximum in September-October. No long-term trend of BC concentrations was clear during our measurement period. Seasonal features of EBC concentrations showed a maximum in September-October. BC was originated from biomass burning and combustion of fossil fuels in South America and southern Africa. BC at the Antarctic coasts were transported from South America and southern Africa mostly via lower troposphere and partly via upper troposphere and downward motion in the Antarctic Circle. The absorption Angstrom exponent (AAE) showed clear seasonal features and was associated with mixing states of BC and organic aerosols supplied from biomass burning and oceanic bio-activity.
