The concentration of total organic carbon in marine aerosols collected from a 20-m tower on the Southwest Coast of Bermuda ranged from 0.15 to 0.47 microgram/M/sup 3/ STP under onshore wind conditions. The mass of the organic carbon ranged from 1 to 19% of the mass of sea salt in the particles in Bermuda, and the percentage decreased with increasing salt content.
