• Distribution patterns of sea salt aerosol mass concentrations differed significantly between sea areas at different latitudes • Inter-annual changes in sea salt aerosol concentrations in different sea areas were not synchronized • GEOS-Chem using a single sea surface temperature scale to correct the sea salt emission led to underestimation in the Southern Ocean
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
