The aerosol number concentration have measured with an aerodynamic particle sizer spectrometer(APS) at Gosan site in Jeju, Korea, from March 2010 to March 2011. And then the atmospheric aerosol number concentration, the temporal variation and the size distribution of aerosol number concentration have been investigated.
The aerosol number concentration varies significantly from 748 particles/㎝ 3 to zero particles/㎝ 3 . The average number concentration in small size ranges are very higher than those in large size ranges. The number concentrations in the size range 0.25∼0.28 ㎛, 0.40∼0.45 ㎛ and 2.0∼2.5 ㎛ are about 84 particles/㎝ 3 , 2 particles/㎝ 3 and 0.4 particles/㎝ 3 , respectively. The number concentrations in range of larger than 7.5 ㎛ are below 0.001 particles/㎝ 3 .
The seasonal variations in the number concentration for smaller particle(<1.0 ㎛) are not much, but the variations for larger particle are very evident. And strong amplitudes of diurnal variations of entire averaged aerosol number concentration are not observed.
Size-fractioned aerosol number concentrations are dramatically decreased with increased particle size. The size-fractioned aerosol number concentrations in size range 0.8∼4.0 ㎛ during nighttime are evidently higher than during daytime, but similar levels are appeared in other size range. The seasonal differences in the size-fractioned number concentrations for smaller size range(<0.7 ㎛) are not observed, however, the remarkable seasonal differences are observed for larger size than 0.7 ㎛.
