What Goes Up Must Come Down
Abstract
Over the 30 years of the SEAREX to SOLAS era of research in air-sea exchanges, much has been learnt about how such transfers affect air quality and climate, as well as ocean biogeochemistry. Highlights to be presented here include the emission from the oceans of volatile forms of various elements including S, Se and I, and their roles in the atmosphere including human health on deposition to land. Conversely, the impact on ocean biogeochemistry and feedbacks to the atmosphere of the uptake of atmospheric particles and gases will be illustrated with respect to Fe inputs and lowered pH resulting from carbon dioxide uptake. Finally, a brief description of current activities in the SOLAS project will be given.
