Spatial Gradients in Trace Metal Concentrations in the Surface Microlayer of the Mediterranean Sea

The relationship between dust deposition and surface water metal concentrations is poorly understood. Dissolution, solubility, and partitioning reactions of trace metals from dust particles are governed by complex chemical, biological, and physical processes occurring in the surface ocean. Despite t...
