Journal ArticleDOI
Sea surface microlayers: A unified physicochemical and biological perspective of the air–ocean interface
Michael Cunliffe,Anja Engel,Sanja Frka,Blaženka Gašparović,Carlos Guitart,J. Colin Murrell,Matthew Salter,Christian Stolle,Robert C. Upstill-Goddard,Oliver Wurl +9 more
TL;DR: The SML paradigm is discussed, taking into account physicochemical and biological characteristics that define SML structure and function, and previously unpublished time series data on bacterioneuston composition and SML surfactant activity immediately following physical SML disruption are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of pollutants in the sea-surface microlayer (SML): a unique habitat for marine organisms.
TL;DR: Overall, the SML is highly contaminated in many urban and industrialized areas of the world, resulting in severe ecotoxicological impacts, which may lead to drastic effects on the marine food web and to fishery recruitment in coastal waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation and global distribution of sea-surface microlayers
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of surfactants in the sea-surface microlayer (SML) in different regions of the ocean (subtropical, temperate, polar) suggests that this interfacial layer between the ocean and atmosphere covers the ocean's surface to a significant extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in Singapore's coastal marine sediments.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed sediment samples taken within 6 km of the coastline of Singapore to determine prevailing concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
Journal ArticleDOI
The gelatinous nature of the sea-surface microlayer
Oliver Wurl,Michael J. Holmes +1 more
TL;DR: The results of a general enrichment of gel particles support the concept of a hydrated gelatinous interfacial layer with a complex matrix of dissolved organic matter rather than a more classical model of organized layers of "wet" and "dry" surfactants.
