Dust deposition to the surface waters of the western and central North Pacific inferred from surface water dissolved aluminum concentrations

[1] Dissolved Al was determined on similar to 3500 surface water samples collected in the NW Pacific during the 2002 Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Contaminant Baseline survey. In addition, dissolved Al was determined on samples collected at 9 vertical stations occupied along the c...

Description
Summary:[1] Dissolved Al was determined on similar to 3500 surface water samples collected in the NW Pacific during the 2002 Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Contaminant Baseline survey. In addition, dissolved Al was determined on samples collected at 9 vertical stations occupied along the cruise track. Surface water Al distributions, when converted to annual mineral dust deposition ( Measures and Brown, 1996), imply extremely low depositions ( mean values
