摘要

While a breeze over the ocean may cool beach goers in the summertime, a new scientific study has revealed that tiny wind-blown sea salt particles drifting into the atmosphere participate in a chemical reaction that may have impacts on climate and acid rain. The research, published in the online issue of Science Express, could have substantial implications for increasing the accuracy of climate models. The study by scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of California, Irvine, indicates that sea salt plays an important role — but one previously not well understood — in the chemistry of sulfur in the atmosphere. One form of sulfur — sulfur dioxide — is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels containing sulfur. It is also formed when naturally emitted sulfur-containing compounds react in the atmosphere. In the air, sulfur dioxide is converted to sulfuric acid, a major component of acid rain and a contributor to haze in the atmosphere. These haze particles can affect clouds, which play an important role in climate.
