Abstract—Flicker noise spectroscopy was used to analyze measurements in the free atmosphere. The special
features of correlations between the measured atmospheric aerosol parameters, namely, the total concentration
of aerosol with particle size no larger than 3 nm, the concentration of particles whose size exceeded 150 nm,
and the mean size of these particles, were determined and analyzed. These correlations could be used to create
new models and reveal the rules governing the formation of new particles. Flicker noise spectroscopy was
shown to offer much promise for atmospheric measurements.
