Different techniques for determination of the height of the aerosol mixing layer are considered. Seasonal behaviors of the heights of homogeneous atmosphere and submicron aerosol mixing layer are studied. It is revealed that in summer the height of the homogeneous aerosol atmosphere and the height of the mixing layer of submicron particles practically coincide with each other, while in winter they are significantly different. The obtained result is in agreement with the data on the fraction of particles within and over the mixing layer in different seasons.
