Measurements at the AERONET station in Dushanbe showed that the diurnal variations of the aerosol optical thickness (AOT), humidity, Ångström parameter depend on the stratification of the atmosphere. It is established that the dynamics of the aerosol in the ground inversion temperature layer is determined by the effect of double diffusion, which is manifested as a result of the difference in the diffusion coefficients of the components. As the temperature and aerosol concentration increase from the bottom to the top, vertical convection cells of the "salt finger" type are formed, which cause a rapid settling of dust by means of condensation of water vapor and coagulation of particles and water droplets.
