Project description
Sea spray aerosols alter climate and the environment in remarkable ways. Marine aerosol particles are created by breaking ocean waves. This top region of the ocean is rich in organic molecules. The breaking waves transfer this biological soup into the droplets as they are jettisoned from the ocean surface. Water droplets can act as miniature catalytic converters for interfacial reactions. The aim of this project is to determine the composition of water droplets directly. Our depth profiling method will be applied in collaboration with Prof Gilbert Nathanson (Madison, USA).
