TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess current data in this area, develop global scale estimates of the atmospheric fluxes of trace elements, mineral aerosol, nitrogen species, and synthetic organic compounds to the ocean; and compare the atmospheric input rates of these substances to their input via rivers.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of meteorological data showed that the amount of precipitation, the strength of the westerly winds, and the position of large-scale meteorological features were related to the dust concentrations over eastern Asia.

TL;DR: Aerosol particle samples collected in Beijing, China and Mallipo, South Korea were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation to determine the atmospheric concentrations of trace elements over the Yellow Sea and estimate the atmospheric deposition of selected trace elements to this region.

TL;DR: In this article, high concentrations of dust were observed in northern continental China, and at certain locations such as Beijing dust may include an anthropogenic fraction, with the mass particle-size distributions of dust varied depending on its distance from source regions, with a mass median diameter for Al of ˜1.6-5.9 µm at Beijing in northern China and ˜ 1.4 to 2.1 cm s −1 over the China Sea.

TL;DR: In this article, aerosol sampling was conducted at Qingdao and Xiamen, which are on the coast of China, and over offshore regions of the East China Sea, to characterize atmospheric particulate non-sea-salt (nss) sulfate, nitrate, methanesulfonate (MSA), and selected trace elements over the China Sea.
