BIOMARCADORES ORGaNICOS E INORGaNICOS DE AEROSS & Oacute; IS ATMOSFeRICOS DE REGI ?ES MARINHAS

ORGANIC AND INORGANIC BIOMARKERS OF ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS FROM MARINE REGIONS. In this study, we overview the recent advancements in knowledge regarding organic and inorganic biomarkers of atmospheric aerosols from coastal zones and open marine areas. It deals with the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere through their interface, the formation of a seawater microlayer (SML) and the exchange of a myriad of chemical compounds between those environmental compartments. We also discuss how marine aerosols (MAs) are intrinsically related to the global carbon cycle, influence the radiative budget of the Earth, and are related to global climate. At the end, we discuss the trends of new studies on the topic.
