Abstract

Estimates of seasonally dependent multiyear trends in the mass concentration of near-surface aerosol are presented based on measurements at the Zvenigorod Research Station of the A.M. Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, in 1991–2018. The analysis was performed by the method of multiple linear regression taking into account data autocorrelation on long timescales. Statistically significant negative trends were derived for the spring and summer periods of 1991–2002 and 2013–2018, respectively; possible causes for the trends are discussed.
