“…Since it is well known that SSA is produced by the bursting of air bubbles at the sea surface (e.g., Blanchard and Woodcock, 1957;Lewis and Schwartz, 2004;de Leeuw et al, 2011), the differences between generation methods for SSA in the laboratory differ primarily by the method of bubble production. Recent reports indicate that pneumatic atomization does not produce particles of similar physical or chemical properties to those generated by bubble bursting (Fuentes et al, 2010b;Gaston et al, 2011). Until recently, two different bubble production techniques have been utilized for laboratory studies of aerosol composition: (1) air (or N 2 ) forced through sintered glass filters ("frits") (Cloke et al, 1991;Keene et al, 2007;Wise et al, 2009;Fuentes et al, 2010b;Modini et al, 2010;Park et al, 2014), and (2) impinging water jets (Facchini et al, 2008;Fuentes et al, 2010b;Hultin et al, 2010).…”
