The organic sea-surface microlayer in the upwelling region off the coast of Peru and potential implications for air–sea exchange processes

The sea-surface microlayer (SML) is at the uppermost surface of the ocean, linking the hydrosphere with the atmosphere. The presence and enrichment of organic compounds in the SML have been suggested to influence air–sea gas exchange processes as well as the emission of primary organic aerosols. Her...
