Wintertime enhancements of sea salt aerosol in polar regions consistent with a sea ice source from blowing snow

Sea salt aerosols (SSA) are generated via air bubbles bursting at the ocean surface as well as by wind mobilization of saline snow and frost flowers over sea-ice-covered areas. The relative magnitude of these sources remains poorly constrained over polar regions, affecting our ability to predict the...
