【 摘 要 】

The sea surface microlayer (SML), although poorly understood, is important in biogeochemical cycling and sea - air exchanges; it is a source or a sink for a range of pollutants. In this paper, an overview of sampling techniques and the role of SML in biogeochemical cycles and climate is presented. The chemical and biological nature of the ocean surface film and its interaction with atmospheric aerosols are discussed. Special attention is given to organic constituents, gel-like compounds, surfactants, halogenated compounds, and metals. Estimates of air - sea exchange fluxes-with focus on organic carbon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls-are compiled. In addition, research gaps in the chemical composition of marine aerosols and their relationship with SML are described.
