THIRD YEAR REPORT: Sea-Salt Aerosol in Hawaii and the Influence of Large Organized Structures (LOS) or Rolls on Fluxes and Visibility
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our long-term goal is to establish an improved understanding of the factors that control the marine aerosol properties and concentrations as they relate to generation processes, mixing processes, their dependence on oceanic and environmental conditions and physicochemical evolution in the marine boundary layer. We expect these efforts to lead to improved modeling and predictability of marine aerosol concentrations and optical properties.

Potential for a biogenic influence on cloud microphysics over the ocean: a correlation study with satellite-derived data
Aerosols have a large potential to influence climate through their effects on the microphysics and optical properties of clouds and, hence, on the Earth’s radiation budget. Aerosol–cloud interactions have been intensively studied in polluted air, but the possibility that the marine biosphere plays an important role in regulating cloud brightness in the pristine oceanic atmosphere remains largel...
متن کاملInfluence of Sodium Tripolyphosphate Concentration on Characteristics and Performance of Polyamide Thin Layer Membrane in Cu (II) Removal
In this work, the effect of presence of the sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), as an inorganic salt, on improving the performance of polyamide (PA) thin layer membranes has been studied. Characterization analyses confirmed the presence of the salt on the whole surface structure of the thin layer. Different salt loadings resulted in different fluxes and Cu (II) rejections. The thin layer containing...
متن کاملReport of a Physical Oceanography Research Project over the Southern Continental Shelf of the Caspian Sea
Abstract The study presents monthly variations of seawater properties, monitoring water column stability and stratification over the southern shelf of the Caspian Sea which depends on collecting data. Field measurements were carried out during 13 cruises along the southern boundary of the sea. Spatial and temporal distributions of temperature, salinity and density were investigated. Monthl...
متن کاملAerosol Concentrations and Fluxes near the Ocean Surface during the Rough Evaporation Duct (RED) Project
The overall aim of this project is to improve substantially the parameterisation of sea spray particulate fluxes for a wide range of environmental conditions. To meet US Navy needs for more accurate predictions of aerosol loadings, the underlying physical and chemical processes determining aerosol formation and evolution in the maritime environment must be defined. Progress is already being mad...
متن کاملMetal Signature of Atmospheric Aerosol from Kochi, the Queen of Arabian Sea, Kerala, India
The present research article highlights the metal (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn and Fe)distribution pattern in the RSPM generated in different hot spot sites located at Kochi, theQueen of Arabian Sea. These sampling sites are categorized under three different zonesas estuarine, riverine, and coastal. Two sampling phases are selected in order to check theconsistency in pollution trend after a two year gap and...
