Sentences with phrase «inorganic sea spray»
«We suspect that water bound within sea salt, known as hydrates, play a significant role in defining the hygroscopicity of inorganic sea spray aerosol, If true, it means that the particles would take up less water because of the water already present as hydrates and, as a result, they would grow less.

It was previously thought that sodium chloride was a good approximation for the hygroscopicity of the inorganic fraction of sea spray.
The ability of the inorganic component of sea spray particles to take up water has been the focus of this international study where a large suite of well - controlled laboratory experiments have shown, for the first time, that the hygroscopicity of the inorganic component of sea spray is significantly lower than pure sodium chloride, a substance routinely used to describe their hygroscopicity in climate models.
Sea spray is a complex mixture of inorganic salts, organic material present in the ocean and living organisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi.
