“…This low winter and high summer seasonal difference has also been observed at coastal Antarctic sites, but the average concentrations were typically higher, with summertime concentrations ranging from 300 to 2000 cm −3 and wintertime concentrations from 10 to 200 cm −3 (Kim et al, 2017;Gras, 1993). Consistent with this seasonal difference in particle number concentrations, most summertime non-sea salt sulfate mass concentrations were at least 5 times higher than winter concentrations (Jourdain and Legrand, 2002;Weller and Wagenbach, 2007;Udisti et al, 2012;Legrand et al, 2017a;Asmi et al, 2018), likely because of the contributions from biogenic DMS emissions from the surrounding Southern Ocean. However, most sea salt aerosols had wintertime maximum concentrations with more than 2 times more Na + mass concentrations in winter than summer (Parungo et al, 1981;Wagenbach et al, 1998;Jourdain and Legrand, 2002;Weller and Wagenbach, 2007;Jourdain et al, 2008;Udisti et al, 2012;Legrand et al, 2017a, b;Asmi et al, 2018).…”
