Primary and Secondary Organic Marine Aerosol and Oceanic Biological Activity: Recent Results and New Perspectives for Future Studies

Figure 2

Seasonal evolution of submicron marine aerosol chemical composition observed through the twelve samples collected at Mace Head during MAP. The horizontal axis reports the nominal sampling time for each sample, that is, the time during which the filter/substrate has been exposed (the actual sampling time depended on the occurrence of the clean sector conditions during the exposition time). Samples are grouped in HBA and LBA period to evidence the differences between the two periods.
