Abstract
A decrease pf CN (of all expansion rates) and of AP (⩾0.3 μ m and ⩾ 2 μm) with altitude has been found. But local sources can surpass the -shown (Müller and Serpolay 1987) air mass-, wind direction-, vertical movement- and washout (rainout)-effects up to a factor of 10, even at high mountains and for many hours.
