OTERO, L. A. et al. Aerosol classification for Comodoro Rivadavia Aeronet station during 2015. An. AFA [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.4, pp.85-89. ISSN 0327-358X.

The city of Comodoro Rivadavia, in the province of Chubut, is located on the shores of the Argentinean Sea, in the central zone of the San Jorge Basin. Its climate is arid with little rainfall. In this work, the aerosol optical data of the aerosols of the AERONET/NASA network station that is installed in the monitoring station (45,792º S; 67,463º W) of the General Enrique Mosconi International Airport are analyzed statistically and correlated the wind direction results that affect the city by 2015. It is mostly affected by winds from the West quadrant from the mountain range, and winds from the East quadrant from the sea. These two wind directions cause transport of two types of aerosols: marine and dust. To exemplify the characteristics of the aerosols mobilized by these two wind directions, the measurements of the solar photometer are studied for January 21th and 22th, 2015. The optical characteristics of the suspended aerosols in the atmosphere are determined for those days.

Palabras clave : wind direction; aerosols; Comodoro Rivadavia.
