Concept information
Preferred term
SEASAW
Definition
- Sea spray aerosol particles, generated primarily by the action of the wind on the ocean surface, make a major contribution to the atmospheric aerosol over the global oceans. Their ability to participate in heterogeneous atmospheric chemical processes and especially their activity as cloud condensation nuclei make them very important in global climate processes. Similarly, the air-sea fluxes of trace gases, are influenced by wind speed and whitecap processes. Summary Provided By: http://homepages.see.leeds.ac.uk/~lecimb/SOLAS/index.html (en)
