| Zusammenfassung |
| In this paper we present data on spatial distribution of trace gases and aerosols obtained
during airborne measurement campaign carried out across vast territory of Russia from
Novosibirsk to Black Sea coast. The cross-sections obtained during this survey enabled the
analysis of atmospheric impurity distribution in the neighbourhoods of Ural Mountains aimed
to reveal footprints of Western European pollutions in the Siberian air shed. It is shown that
direct latitudinal transboudary transport of pollutants from Europe to Asia takes place only in
the free troposphere (above 2 km). The transport within the atmospheric boundary layer
can occur only along the trajectories enveloping Ural Mountains in the North or
South.
