Present knowledge of processes and methods of measurement related to the exchange between ocean and atmosphere of minor constituents of gaseous and particulate material, both natural and anthropogenic, was reviewed at a meeting of SCOR working group No. 44: Ocean-Atmosphere Material Exchange (OAMEX), Unesco, Paris, November 1979. In this report, problems regarding sea-salt aerosols, mineral aerosols, particulate organic carbon, metals, gases, remote sensing techniques, use of radio-nuclides, photochemical processes are considered in the context of air-sea exchange studies. Recommendations, particular and general, for further studies are formulated. |
