Factors Determining Particle Dynamics over the Air-Sea Interface
bookPart
Work done in the framework of the ASE subproject, topic 5, on factors determining particle dynamics over the air-sea interface, is briefly reviewed. Emphasis is on the cooperative efforts between the authors, covering a period of roughly 8 years, from 1988 until 1996 [1–16], which in part were carried out in cooperation with other institutes. The work has focused on the description of the aerosol life cycle in the marine atmosphere, including production of sea spray aerosol, transport of sea spray aerosol from the surface into the surface layer and the mixed layer, the dispersal of aerosol throughout the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL), and the removal at the surface and at the top of the MABL. Continental aerosol, advected over the oceans in off-shore winds, is an important factor in the MABL, and processes involving aerosols of non-marine origin were included in our studies, in particular as regards their deposition on water surfaces.
