Characterization of seawater organic matter carried by bubble‐generated aerosols1
Samples of organic matter were isolated from seawater of the North Atlantic Ocean and Halifax Harbour by a bubble adsorptive technique. The samples thus collected, representative of the organic materials important in the transport of geochemical species across the air‐sea interface, were characteriz...
