Abstract

In this paper the results of existing baseline aerosol monitoring programs are reviewed. For this purpose, aerosol data from five baseline stations in both hemispheres are analysed. Their information content is compared to that which can be derived when utilizing experiences of recent field experiments and the present state of aerosol sciences in general. Recommendations for extensions and reductions of baseline aerosol measurements are given.
