Elemental analysis mainly by particle\u2010induced X ray emission (PIXE) indicated, in the samples collected between Panama and the Galapagos Islands, the presence of a substantial crustal component (\u223c0.4 \u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>), fine Cu (\u223c0.4 ng\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>) and Zn (\u223c0.6 ng\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>), and excess fine S and K (\u223c100 and \u223c2.4 ng\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>, respectively) in addition to the major sea salt elements. The crustal component and fine Cu and Zn are suggested to result from natural continental sources (i.e., eolian dust transport from the American continents and perhaps geothermal emissions). Samples collected west of the Galapagos Islands in the southern trades showed significantly lower concentrations for the nonseawater components. The average Si and Fe levels were as low as 4.8 and 3.3 ng\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>, corresponding to a maximum of 0.066 \u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> for an assumed mineral dust component, whereas heavy metal concentrations were all below the detection limits (typically ranging from 0.05 to 0.15 ng\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> for V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Se). Excess fine S decreased to a mean of 46 ng\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>, a level similar to those reported for other remote marine and continental locations. This all indicates that the marine atmosphere west of the Galapagos was little influenced by natural continental source processes or by anthropogenic emissions. Under these truly marine conditions, several concentration ratios of the major seawater elements were significantly different from those in bulk seawater. Ca, Sr, and S in &gt;1 \u03bcm diameter particles were enriched relative to K and Na, with the enrichment being substantially more pronounced (up to 50% or higher) for l\u20134\u2010\u03bcm diameter particles than for particles &gt;4 \u03bcm. Comparison of these data with a similar data set from samples collected over the Atlantic indicates that the departures from seawater composition are significantly larger for the Pacific. Differences in sea\u2010to\u2010air fractionation processes, probably involving binding of divalent cations to organic matter in the oceanic surface microlayer, are suggested as being responsible for these observations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1029\/jc088ic09p05353","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,6]],"date-time":"2008-02-06T20:10:21Z","timestamp":1202328621000},"page":"5353-5364","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Characterization of the atmospheric aerosol over the eastern equatorial Pacific"],"prefix":"10.1029","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"Willy","family":"Maenhaut","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Raemdonck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Selen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ren\u00e9","family":"Van Grieken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"John W.","family":"Winchester","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"13","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0004-6981(80)90002-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/JC087iC11p08875"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/JC081i018p03151"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","first-page":"173","volume-title":"Chemical Oceanography","author":"Berg W.
