A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego has identified for the first time what drives the observed differences in the chemical make-up of sea spray particles ejected from ...

For the first time, researchers have identified what drives the observed differences in the chemical make-up of sea spray particles ejected from the ocean by breaking waves. A team of researchers led ...

Researchers have found that biogenic materials in sea spray may affect ice cloud formation and thus climate on a global scale. Scientists believe that the thin film on the ocean's surface, which is ...

All over the planet, every day, oceans send plumes of sea spray into the atmosphere. Beyond the poetry of crashing ocean waves, this salt- and carbon-rich spray has a dramatic effect on the formation ...

All over the planet, every day, oceans send plumes of sea spray into the atmosphere. Beyond the poetry of crashing ocean waves, this salt- and carbon-rich spray also has a dramatic effect on cloud ...

The ocean is incomprehensibly vast, spanning most of the planet. To examine the effect of the five ocean basins on the climate, however, researchers had to shrink the seas — allowing for the study of ...

Sea spray dynamics play a crucial role in mediating the exchange of heat, moisture, momentum and gases between the ocean and the atmosphere, processes that collectively underpin many weather and ...

Sea spray aerosols, which form when ocean waves fling particles into the atmosphere, can impact our climate in a variety of ways. But their small size and chemical complexity make them hard to study ...

Microscopic plants that grow on the thin surface of the ocean can influence cloud formation miles above. The discovery, published this week in the journal Nature, gives scientists a better ...

Oceans have long been considered the final resting place of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), toxic and persistent pollutants that have been widely used for decades in firefighting foams and other ...
