The impact of dry atmospheric deposition on the sea-surface microlayer and the sub-surface layer in the SE Mediterranean Sea: an experimental approach

The oligotrophic southeastern Mediterranean Sea (SEMS) is frequently exposed to desert-dust deposition which supplies nutrients, trace metals and a wide array of viable airborne microorganisms. In this study, we experimentally examined the impact of aerosol addition, collected during an intense dust...
