Phosphorus in the aerosols over oceans transported offshore from China to the Arctic Ocean: Speciation, spatial distribution, and potential sources
Atmospheric aerosol samples were collected from July to September 2008 onboard a round-trip cruise over the Eastern China Sea, Japan Sea, Western North Pacific Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean (31.1°N–85.18°N, 122.48°E–146.18°W). Total phosphorus (TP) and total inorganic phosphorus (TIP) were analyzed. T...
