A statistical analysis of the aerosol optical thickness and the Angstrom parameters derived from measurements of spectral solar radiation at the surface of the southern and western Baltic Sea is presented. The experimental data were collected on cloudless days during over 20 cruises from March to September within a 4-year period (1994-1998). The monthly and seasonal variability of the aerosol optical thickness for two wind direction sectors - northern sector 270o-N-90o and southern sector 90o-S-270o - is analysed.
