A24C:
Linking the Ocean with the Atmosphere: Exploring the Importance of the Ocean-Atmosphere Interface and Near Surface Waters in Global Scale Processes Posters


Session ID#: 9954

Session Description:
The sea surface microlayer (SML) is the interface layer between the ocean and the atmosphere, controlling of a variety of physical, chemical and biological properties and processes, including gas- and heat-exchange, microbial diversity, biogeochemical cycling and the emission of aerosols. Recent technical developments such as the application of high-throughput sequencing to assess microbial diversity within the SML and autonomous techniques to quantify the physiochemical properties of the interface are significantly advancing our understanding of interactions between near surface waters and the lower atmosphere. Experimental studies applying controlled wind fields, or simulating sea spray formation, furthermore advanced our understanding of the SML and its diverse components. However, to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the processes that occur at the interface layer requires the development and application of interdisciplinary scientific approaches.     

For this multidisciplinary session we invite participants from all research disciplines that are interested in the SML and its effect on surrounding environments. The session will bring together ideas and results from field observations, laboratory experiments and models. We will explore the interactions between physical, chemical and microbiological processes at the ocean-atmosphere interface so that we can develop a holistic perspective and promote the development of new collaborations between research fields.
