Long-term observations of carbonaceous aerosols in the Austral Ocean atmosphere: Evidence of a biogenic marine organic source
International audience Long-term observations of carbonaceous aerosols in the Austral Ocean are reported here for the first time from almost 5 years of continuous filter sampling performed at Amsterdam Island (37°48 0 S, 77°34 0 E). Black carbon concentrations determined by optical method were among...

International audience Long-term observations of carbonaceous aerosols in the Austral Ocean are reported here for the first time from almost 5 years of continuous filter sampling performed at Amsterdam Island (37°48 0 S, 77°34 0 E). Black carbon concentrations determined by optical method were among the lowest reported for marine atmosphere, with monthly mean levels ranging from 2-5 ng C/m 3 during summer to 7-13 ng C/m 3 during winter. A clear seasonal pattern was also observed for organic aerosols, but in opposite phase, with maximum values during the austral summer period (>250 ng C/m 3) and minimum concentrations (100 ng C/m 3) during winter. This seasonal variation of organic concentration was found to be almost entirely related to the water-insoluble organic carbon fraction, suggesting a primary origin for these organics, most probably through bubble bursting processes. Moreover, this summer maximum observed for organic aerosols was found to be correlated with satellite-derived chlorophyll a concentrations averaged over an oceanic region upwind of the sampling site and characterized by relatively high biogenic activity. This oceanic region being located at 1000-2000 km far away from the monitoring station, atmospheric ageing may have played a significant role on the levels and size-resolved properties of marine organics collected at Amsterdam Island.
