- Abstract:
- This proposal aims to make a study of the chemistry of iron and iodine in aerosol and rain across the tropical North Atlantic. Iron is an essential trace nutrient in the oceans with atmospheric dust being its dominant source in this region. Iodine is an element with an active ozone destruction cycle, whose source is the oceans. Its inclusion into aerosol, and its chemical speciation in aerosol, governs its removal from the atmosphere. We will determine atmospheric concentrations and deposition fluxes of iron and several iodine species along a latitudinal transect of the Atlantic at 11 degrees N. Together with colleagues at the universities of Kiel and Essex we will investigate the supply of iron and other nutrient species to the water column from wind-transported Saharan dust, and aerosol iodine speciation in relation to measured emissions of volatile organic iodine gases.
