Abstract in brief

  • Sea spray aerosol (SSA) particles significantly affect climate by scattering solar radiation and aiding in cloud formation, with their composition influenced by oceanic biological processes, especially during phytoplankton blooms.
  • A mesocosm study using natural seawater revealed that two distinct phytoplankton blooms led to different SSA chemical compositions; the first bloom produced organic-rich SSA, while the second did not.
  • The research highlights the complexity of SSA composition influence, showing that it is governed not only by phytoplankton abundance (measured by chlorophyll-a) but also by microbial degradation processes affecting the organic material produced during these blooms.
