Variations in Ionic Ratios between Reference Sea Water and Marine Aerosols

International audience Atmospheric particles were collected over the open sea (western Mediterranean, North Atlantic, and Norwegian Sea) by air filtration and cascade impactor sampling. The observed K/Na concentration ratios exhibited marked variation and were greater than the reference ratio in bul...

Description
Summary:International audience Atmospheric particles were collected over the open sea (western Mediterranean, North Atlantic, and Norwegian Sea) by air filtration and cascade impactor sampling. The observed K/Na concentration ratios exhibited marked variation and were greater than the reference ratio in bulk sea water. These concentration ratios can be related to the existence of a
