Role of Sea Surface Microlayer Properties in Cloud Formation

Role of Sea Surface Microlayer Properties in Cloud Formation

To date, the relative contribution of primary marine organic matter to the subset of atmospheric particles that nucleate cloud droplets is highly uncertain. Here, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) measurements were conducted on aerosolized sea surface microlayer (SML) samples collected from the North...
