Eddy covariance measurements of the sea spray aerosol flux over the open ocean
Direct eddy covariance measurements of size-segregated sea spray aerosol fluxes over the open Atlantic Ocean are presented, along with a source function derived from them for a wind speed range of 4 to 18 m s -1 and a size range of 0.176 < R 80 < 6.61 μm. This is in broad agreement with other...
