Long-range transport of continentally-derived particulate carbon in the marine atmosphere: evidence from stable carbon isotope studies

International audience Since 1979, we have investigated marine and non-marine sources of particulate carbon in the marine atmosphere from measurements of carbon concentration and isotopic composition 2C). Aerosol samples were collected, mostly during the Sea/Air Exchange (SEAREX) Program experiments...

Description
Summary:International audience Since 1979, we have investigated marine and non-marine sources of particulate carbon in the marine atmosphere from measurements of carbon concentration and isotopic composition 2C). Aerosol samples were collected, mostly during the Sea/Air Exchange (SEAREX) Program experiments, in the northern and southern hemispheres (Sargasso Sea, Enewetak Atoll, Peru upwelling, American Samoa, New Zealand, Amsterdam Island). The concentration and the isotopic composition of particulate carbon of marine origin are about the same in both hemispheres (
