2 Objective of the work * Single-particle characterization of the Antarctic aerosol samples based on secondary electron images (SEIs) and X-ray spectral data * Possible mechanism for the formation of sulfate-containing sea-salt particles. The Antarctic Introduction Best place for monitoring the background level of the earth s atmosphere as it is isolated from anthropogenic activities In the summertime, phytoplankton can grow rapidly due to longer daytime and warmer temperature.
3 Introduction Most of the analysis of the Antarctic aerosols were carried out by bulk analysis: * More than 70% of sea salt were found in the supermicron particles, and >90% of submicron particles showed the chloride depletion by sulfate, nitrate, and methane sulfonate. (Kerminen et al., 2000) * The sea spray contribution (Na +, Mg 2+, Cl -, and ss-so 2-4 ) is dominant (77% w/w) in the coarse fraction, whereas the biogenic source (methane sulfonate and nss-so 2-4 ) exist (67.5% w/w) in the fine fraction. (Fattori et al., 2005) * In the Antarctic, excess nss-so 2-4 dominated and the contribution of methyl sulfonic acid (MSA) to the chloride depletion was significant. (Virkkula et al., 2006) * Particulate sulfate, ammonium, and methane sulfonate were internally mixed and found predominantly in the submicron size range. (Teinila et al., 2000)
4 Single-particle analysis (SPA) for the Antarctic aerosol characterization * Majority of the particles consist of sea-salts (>94%) and some transformed particles include excess sulfate and methane sulfonate with sea-salt particles - by using laser microprobe mass spectrometry. (Wouters et al., 1990) * 92% of the particles were identified as sea-salts, and in almost all particles, at least three elements Na, Cl, and Mg were detected - by using Micro-PIXE. (Biancato et al., 2006) * Sea-salt particles were transformed to secondary sea-salts more in the fine fraction through heterogeneous reactions mainly with gaseous organosulfur species (e.g. DMS, MSA) in the summer and with reactive NOx in the winter - by using SEM/EDX. (Hara et al, 2005) * In the austral summer samples, sulfur-rich particles and reacted sea-salt particles were high, because the production of marine sulfur was enhanced - by using TEM/EDX. (Mouri et al., 1999)

13 Why elevated sulfate containing sea-salt particles observed in the Antarctic aerosol particles? - Backward trajectories: S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 During sampling period, all air masses came from ocean.
14 Observed average ratio of sulfur to sodium 0.28 (SWR= 0.083) Sulfur species is not only from sea water, but also from other sources. sea-salt particles : > 96% No anthropogenic influence (SO x and NO x ) backward trajectories All air masses came from the ocean. no nitrate-containing particles observed The sea-salt particles were probably modified by heterogeneous reaction between sea-salt and biogenic sulfur species (e.g., DMS, MSA)
