(Table 1) Insoluble aerosol concentrations and vertical fluxes at the eastern shelf of the Black Sea during breeze circulation in October 1987

Amounts of aerosols transported to the shelf surface were calculated on the basis of in situ measurements of concentrations of eolian matter (insoluble aerosol fraction) and vertical fluxes of settling dust in five areas of the Black Sea shelf from the Danube delta to the Inguri River mouth. More than 8.3 mln t of eolian matter are annually transported from the land over the shelf of the former USSR. At the same time more than 5.4 mln t are supplied to the northwestern shelf area, 1.7 mln t are supplied to the Crimean area, about 0.8 mln t are supplied to the Kerch-Taman' area, and about 0.45 mln t are supplied to the Caucasian area.

本研究基于多瑙河三角洲（Danube delta）至因古里河口（Inguri River mouth）范围内的黑海陆架（Black Sea shelf）5个区域的原位实测数据，对风成物质（eolian matter）——即不溶性气溶胶组分（insoluble aerosol fraction）——的浓度与沉降粉尘的垂直通量开展分析，进而计算出输送至该陆架表面的气溶胶（aerosols）总量。原苏联黑海陆架区域每年从陆地接收的风成物质逾830万吨；其中，西北陆架区年接收量超540万吨，克里米亚区域为170万吨，刻赤-塔曼区域约80万吨，高加索区域约45万吨。
