The Size Distribution and Inland Penetration of Sea-Salt Particles

Abstract

Observations of the larger airborne sea-salt particles collected on Millipore filters at varying dist from the shore show that over the ocean and at distances greater than 8 km inland the relative freq distribution of particle diameters was well fitted by an exponential random variable but not well f within 8 km of the shore. The inland distribution at near ground level follows the model of Tanaka well when allowance for the effect of relative humidity on parti
