TLDR
In this article, the authors performed an analysis over four ocean regions and found that sea spray aerosols represent less than 30% of cloud condensation nuclei in typical marine boundary layer clouds.
Abstract
Sea spray aerosols are thought to alter cloud properties in remote ocean regions. Aerosol analyses over four ocean regions reveal that these aerosols represent less than 30% of cloud condensation nuclei in typical marine boundary layer clouds.

Atmospheric new particle formation and growth : review of field observations

TL;DR: In this article, the observed characteristics of atmospheric newparticle formation (NPF) in different environments of the global troposphere are discussed, and a review of the current understanding of regional NPF taking simultaneously place over large spatial scales is provided.

Sea spray aerosol chemical composition: elemental and molecular mimics for laboratory studies of heterogeneous and multiphase reactions

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical properties of sea spray aerosol particles (SSA) have been investigated at a molecular level, and the results showed that less than 25% of the organic mass of SSA has been quantified at molecular level.

Species contributions to PM2.5 mass concentrations: Revisiting common assumptions for estimating organic mass

TL;DR: The authors revisited common assumptions for estimating PM2.5 mass concentration and found that these assumptions can be used to estimate organic mass in a wide range of scenarios, such as PM1.5.

Biogenically driven organic contribution to marine aerosol.

TL;DR: It is found that during bloom periods, the organic fraction dominates and contributes 63% to the submicrometre aerosol mass (about 45% is water-insoluble and about 18% water-soluble) and is therefore an important component of the aerosol–cloud–climate feedback system involving marine biota.

A Continuous-Flow Streamwise Thermal-Gradient CCN Chamber for Atmospheric Measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, a cylindrical continuous-flow thermal-gradient diffusion chamber employing a novel technique of generating a supersaturation is proposed to maximize the growth rate of activated droplets, thereby enhancing the performance of the instrument.
