phase. This difference is important in evaluating the flux of 

 organic compounds to the ocean.

Sea-Air Exchange (SEAREX) 



A new collaborative project on sea-air exchanges (SEAREX) 

 is examining the importance of organic and inorganic pollutant 

 fluxes to the ocean from the atmosphere. Simultaneous meas- 

 urements of different compounds in the air, rain, and dryfall 

 are being made in remote marine locations to produce direct 

 measurement of pollutant fluxes. 



Early measurements with a collector in towers on Bermuda 

 showed a dramatic change in chemical composition of trapped 

 particles as wind direction changed. Specifically, winds blowing 

 from land carried particles rich in iron. Over the next 2 years, 

 SEAREX investigators hope to quantify the airborne move- 

 ment of certain heavy metals and natural and manmade organic 

 compounds. This effort will allow them to identify the sources 

 of these materials and to understand the mechanisms by which 

 the substances cross air-sea boundaries.
