• Sommario/riassunto: Sea Salt Aerosol Production provides a comprehensive review of what is known, assumed, and yet to be learned about SSA and its relation to the atmosphere and climate. Over 1,800 references, extensive graphical presentation of data and numerous practial formulae. Essential for the study of air-sea interactions, atmposhperic aerosols, radiation transfer in the atmosphere, climatology, oceanography, geochemistry, meteorology, cloud physics, and remote sensing of the ocean and the atmosphere.
