This paper presents the data obtained during the polar research cruises of the r/v Oceania in 1995–2001. The aerosol size distributions were measured using the laser particle counter CSASP-100-HV-SP. The size spectral density between diameters 0.5–15 μ m was found to fit the following form: dN/dr = n(2 r) = exp (a2 r + b) , where: a = − 0.29 and b are functions of wind speed. Additionally, poor precision of the sea spray emission determination using only the aerosol concentration data measured at one altitude was confirmed.
