Abstract
The marine atmosphere contains numerous trace gaseous species that can potentially interact with water droplets in clouds or during precipitation events. These gases, when dissolved in water droplets, modify the chemistry of the droplet phase and, then during precipitation, can be transferred to the oceans. This process is in addition to the direct transfer of the trace gases from the air to the ocean, described in this volume by Broecker and Liss.
