The sulphate component in aerosol samples over the Noth Atlantic Ocean (Tab. 1)

The size distribution of sulphate containing particles over the North Atlantic was determined for particles with radii larger than 0.18 µm. It is compared with the size distributions of the total aerosol, the hygroscopic and the insoluble parts in the maritime aerosol. From mass concentrations of su...

Description
Summary:The size distribution of sulphate containing particles over the North Atlantic was determined for particles with radii larger than 0.18 µm. It is compared with the size distributions of the total aerosol, the hygroscopic and the insoluble parts in the maritime aerosol. From mass concentrations of sulphate and sodium, it can be concluded that only a fraction of sulphate originates from the ocean. The sulphate mass distribution separated into its sea salt sulphate and excess sulphate components is compared with a continental distribution.
