A technique is proposed for determining of the large-scale smoke aerosol fluxes using a wind field reanalysis data and the satellite monitoring data of the aerosol optical depths and the vertical profile of the attenuation coefficient. The directions of the long-range transport of the Siberian smoke haze fragments were determined in July 2016. The maximum large-scale mass fluxes and the total mass of the smoke aerosol during the transfer of air masses through the Ural meridian to the west (0.38*10 6 ton/day and 1.38*10 6 tons) and through the 115ºE meridian to the east (0.26*10 6 ton/day and 0.72*10 6 tons) were estimated.
