Concentration of the Aitken Particles in the Oceanic Areas between Tokyo and the Antarctic Region : A preliminary report (Special Issue of the Proceedings of the First Symposium on Antarctic Meteorology and Glaciology)

Continuous measurements of Aitken particle concentration were carried out by using an improved Pollak type automatic counter on board the FUJI between Tokyo and the Antarctic region from November 25 to the end of December, 1976. Very low concentrations of about 100 cm^<-3> were recorded in the...
