Tracing anthropogenic aerosol trace metal sources in the North Atlantic Ocean using Pb, Zn and Ni isotopes
International audience Atmospheric deposition of trace metals of natural or anthropogenic origin is an important input of micronutrients to the surface ocean. However, understanding its direct impact on oceanic element cycles is challenging due to scarce data, coupled to diverse aerosol sources and...

International audience Atmospheric deposition of trace metals of natural or anthropogenic origin is an important input of micronutrients to the surface ocean. However, understanding its direct impact on oceanic element cycles is challenging due to scarce data, coupled to diverse aerosol sources and variable solubilities. Here, we present a dataset that combines Ni, Zn and Pb isotopes for samples from the Moroccan and Senegalese coasts and in the high latitude North Atlantic Ocean. We combine the new with published data for other circum-North Atlantic sources to assess the processes that determine the isotope signatures in different types of aerosols. We then use open marine aerosol data to investigate the impact of these signatures in the open ocean. Isotope analyses were conducted on bulk aerosols (TSP), on their ultra-high-purity water leachates, and on rainwaters. Aerosols characterized by crustal elemental abundances have isotope compositions similar to Saharan mineral dust.
