Abstract

During several trips, measurements of sulfur dioxide and sulfate aerosols have been taken over Antarctic and Subantarctic areas and also over the Mediterranean Sea. A special application of the West Gaeke method enabled us to measure SO₂ concentrations in Antarctic and Subantarctic areas, ranging from 0.05 to 1 μg/m³. SO₂ and sulfate aerosols concentrations in these areas are then compared with concentrations observed in other areas.
