Ion fractionation between fluorine and chlorine at the air‐sea interface was investigated. Radiochemical experiments showed a decrease in the F/CI ratio for laboratory aerosols produced from sea water. Marine aerosols showed an increase in the F/Cl ratio with a possible contribution from airborne dust contamination. Jet drops in the laboratory and naturally occurring marine jet drops showed little to no change. Radiochemical tracers also showed that drying of sea water droplets would sometimes increase the F/Cl ratio of the salt residue, whereas acidification of the sea water always caused the residue to have a decreased ratio.
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.
