Brief Description (Abstract):
During the Third Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica a few air samples for aero biological invesigations were collected between March 5th and 13th 1984 using a Tilak's Continuous Air Sampler for studying the micro particles of biotic origin distributed in the air over the southern ocean.
Status: Completed
Purpose: During the Third Indian Expedition to Antarctica a few air samples for aerobiological investigations were collected using a Tilaks Continuous Air Sampler from between 67?23 S, 20?39 E and 42?00 S, 49?56 E. India is the first country in the world to conduct such type of experiments over Antarctica. The sampling was aimed at studying the micro particles of biotic origin distributed in the air over the southern ocean. A total of eight samples were collected between 5th& 13th March 1984. The samples obtained on slides were mounted with glycerine jelly and were observed under a binocular microscope for qualitative and quantitative analysis of air spora components. Even though the investigation was of short duration the microscopical examination provided interesting results.
