Abstract
Measurements of particulate copper in the atmosphere near the island of Tasmania indicate that the ocean is a source of atmospheric copper. A biogenic agent may be responsible for the approximately 20,000-fold enrichment of copper during aerosol production from the ocean.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
