High above the ocean: unexplored molecular processes
Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface and generate particles in the atmosphere that are viewed as a core component of the climate system, especially due to their role in marine cloud formation and the strong control they have on their ability to reflect sunlight to space. With our recent findings, we have made great progress in documenting the formation of new particles by nucleation of low volatile gas-phase species in the lowest altitudes of the open ocean atmosphere and its relation to water biogeochemistry. Nucleation is however expected to be promoted at higher altitudes, in the marine free troposphere (MFT), and the entrainment of growing particles formed in the MFT is…
