Abstract

Atmospheric fine aerosol particles play an important role in controlling a number of atmospheric processes, such as the deposition of different compounds, the optical properties etc. (Molnar et al., 1999). In this report, water-soluble species of PM$_{2.5}$ obtained from simultaneous measurements at four Asia sites (Beijng (39.56$^{\circ}$N, 116.17$^{\circ}$E), China; Gwangju (35.10$^{\circ}$N, 126.53$^{\circ}$E), South Korea; Kyoto (35.01$^{\circ}$N, 135.44$^{\circ}$E), Japan; and Ulan-Bator (47.55$^{\circ}$N, 106.52$^{\circ}$E), Mongolia) during the periods of 14-22 August, 30 October-06 November 2000, 14-21 January 2001, 23 July-02 August and 05-16 November 2002, within the framework of an APN (The Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research) project are reported. Ion components in 23 July-02 August 2002 were not obtained because of the technical problem of equipments.s.
