Distribution and geochemistry of aerosols in the tropical North Atlantic troposphere - Relationship to Saharan dust

Estimates of global aerosol production suggest that mobilization of natural eolian material greatly exceeds anthropogenic-related emissions, and it appears that soil material transported from arid regions by wind might be mainly responsible for the distribution of certain clay materials in oceanic s...
