Abstract

Abstract Contribution of marine aerosols to marine boundary layer was investigated in Istanbul, Turkey. Average fluxes of Na + and Cl − were determined to be 49.0 and 64.9 mg (m 2 day) −1 , with the highest values being 510.8 and 825.2 mg (m 2 day) −1 , respectively. Monthly fluxes of other parameters (flouride, chloride, bromide, phosphate, lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, sulfate, magnesium, calcium, zinc, lead, cobalt, cadmium, nickel, manganese, chromium, vanadium, copper, iron, aluminum and boron) were also studied. Contribution of sea salt aerosols from Black Sea was of great importance along the Bosphorous line, while other sources are also effective along the coasts of Marmara Sea .
