title: The research of the dust transport impact on the biogeochemical characteristics of the Black Sea surface layer
abstract: A comprehensive analysis of data on the content of PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> and SiO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup> in the atmospheric precipitation, collected in Sevastopol, with the data of back trajectories of HYSPLIT and AERONET models, as well as aerosol optical depth (AOD) was carried out. It has been found that the days with increased concentrations of PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3- </sup>and SiO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup> coincide with the dates of transfer of the dust aerosol from the Sahara desert.
