Long-term trends of global marine primary and secondary aerosol production during the recent global warming hiatus (2000–2015)

Abstract

14Long-term trends in global sea spray aerosol (SSA) emissions and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) fluxes 15 from sea to air during the recent global warming hiatus (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) were analyzed using satellite 16 observations and modelling data. The SSA emissions were estimated using a widely used whitecap 17 method with sea surface temperature (SST) dependence. In addition, sea-to-air DMS fluxes were also 18 used to quantify the secondary contributions of DMS through its sequential oxidation and gas-to-particle
