Project Summary

In this program we will measure wet and dry aerosol deposition in the trade winds at Barbados and Miami with a focus on African dust.  Our study focuses on:
  1. The importance of dry vs. wet deposition  
  2. The chemistry of iron in precipitation and seawater, and
  3. The role inorganic and organic N & P play in system productivity and water column nutrient distributions and ratios.
