Abstract
The first results from ACE-SPACE highlight that the Southern Ocean is a region with highly heterogeneous aerosol properties. The areas around the strong westerly wind belt are characterized by significant sea spray contributions to the total particle and CCN number concentrations in the MBL. Future work will link detailed wave and wind observations to sea spray production. In the Ross and Amundsen Sea polynyas (leg 2), biogenic emissions appear to play an important role for CCN abundance. There are a number of open questions associated with this observation. First, even though this particular region was probed during a phytoplankton bloom period, it was not the only region with microbial act..
