SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENTS OF SPRAY AND SEA SALT

Sizes and concentrations of spray droplets (radius r > 25-mu-m) were measured with an optical technique, while masses of sea salt were obtained through isokinetic sampling. Both sets of measurements were performed at the elevation of 8.2 m above the mean sea surface under relatively high wind velocities (U > 9 m s-1). From these simultaneously collected data, a complete spectrum of marine aerosols was constructed. Contributions of film, jet, and spume drops to marine aerosols are also discussed.
