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.read more

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.

TL;DR: It is found that NPF persists at all longitudes as a global-scale band in the tropical upper troposphere, covering about 40 per cent of Earth’s surface, and is a globally important source of cloud condensation nuclei in the lower tropospheric, affecting cloud properties.

TL;DR: The results show a clear seasonal difference in the marine CCN budget, which illustrates how important phytoplankton-produced DMS emissions are for CCN in the North Atlantic.

Species contributions to PM2.5 mass concentrations: Revisiting common assumptions for estimating organic mass
Barbara J. Turpin,Ho-Jin Lim +1 more
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.

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.
