Particle Geochemistry in the Atmosphere and Oceans

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 108))

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to review our present knowledge of the geochemistry of atmospheric and oceanic particles. I also want to show that these two cycles of particulate matter are coupled by the physical, chemical, and biological processes that take place at the air-sea interface and in the surface waters of the ocean. This geochemical coupling is particularly strong for trace metals. Within a few years at most, atmospheric inputs of trace metals are transferred to the deep ocean by the removal of these elements from the surface layers of the ocean by settling particles, primarily of biogenic origin. On the other hand, atmospheric sea-salt particles, enriched in organic matter and trace metals, are continuously recycled between the oceans and the atmosphere and the fraction transported to land will ultimately find its way back to the oceans, transported by rivers. As a consequence, air-to-sea and sea-to-air particulate transfers are important for the understanding of many bio-geochemical cycles and their alterations by man.
