Abstract
The periods of high aerosol optical thickness (AOT) were singled out from May 24 to June 5, 2016 when the expedition was conducted. For this period, a comparative analysis of the main optical parameters for the Black Sea stations Eforie, Galata Platform and Gloria of the international AERONET network was carried out; the spectral distributions of AOT at seven wavelengths were demonstrated. According to solar photometer SPM measurements, summer migration from the Sahara Desert was identified. To characterize the aerosol for days with extreme basic optical parameterss of the aerosol, the modeling data of Hysplit and Calypso were analyzed. The satellite images AQUA and TERRA MODIS and the dynamics of spatial variability are analyzed , the distribution of dust particles by size for the research period is presented.
