Fluxes of Metals Through the Atmosphere and Oceans

摘要: The tropospheric transport of metals from the continents to oceans is an important pathway their biogeochemical cycle. There now strong evidence that long-range anthropogenic aerosols constitutes a major source for atmospheric concentrations many heavy and metalloids, at least in Northern Hemisphere. magnitude input atmosphere ocean exhibits geographical variability which depends primarily on meteorological factors. Within few years, most, inputs trace are transferred deep by removal these elements surface layers settling particles, biogenic origin. therefore fast coupling between ocean. Even with limited data available, it appears no longer excluded atmosphere, especially case Pb.
