Marine aerosol is one of the most abundant aerosol types in the atmosphere (Boucher, 2015). It consists mainly of more or less hydrated sea-salt particles as well as biological material (Boucher, 2015; Patterson et al., 2016; Zieger et al., 2017). The aerosol is emitted into the atmosphere by bursting air bubbles in the oceans and by wind tearing off wave crests (Boucher, 2015). Sea water (e.g., Wells, 2011) contains a mixture of different salts in solution, which is dominated by sodium chloride (NaCl) (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
