[{"name":"zinke-2021-laboratory-2","title":"Laboratory data on the effect of salinity and temperature on sea spray aerosol production","summary":"This dataset was created in a series of laboratory experiments to investigate the role of salinity and temperature on aerosol production and surface bubble spectra.\r\n\r\nSea spray aerosols were generated from artificial seawater in a temperature-controlled sea spray generation chamber using a plunging jet. The aerosol and surface bubble size distributions were monitored while the salinity was decreased from 35 to 0 g\/kg (at a constant temperature T = 20 \u00b0C). This experiment was repeated at a higher salinity resolution in the range 10\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u20605 g\/kg where significant impacts of changing salinity on the aerosol and bubbles were expected.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, three temperature ramps were conducted at a range of salinities representative of the global average oceanic salinity as well as lower salinity waters such as the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, where the water temperature was slowly decreased from 30 to 0 \u00b0C.","citations":"Zinke J, Nilsson ED, Zieger P, Salter ME (2021) The effect of seawater salinity and seawater temperature on sea salt aerosol production.

These size distributions were combined at a diameter of 350 nm. Additionally, the total number concentration was measured with a condensation particle counter.\r\n\r\nThe bubble size distribution at the water surface was determined photographically.\r\n\r\n#### Version history\r\n\r\n##### Version 2\r\nThe files *salinity-experiments.xlsx* and *temperature-ramps.xlsx* have been updated. The size distribution measured from the DMPS was loss-corrected for particle-sizes < 100 nm where density effects are negligible. Furthermore, we have corrected the data for an offset in the OPSS calibration between the experiments. Lastly, the size distribution of the DMPS and OPSS were combined at 350 nm instead of 500 nm to avoid multiple charging effects in the DMPS that can occur at particle sizes around 500 nm.\r\n\r\n##### Version 1\r\nInitial release.\r\n\r\n","category":"Atmosphere","subcategory":"Aerosols","keywords":"Sea spray production; Salinity; Temperature; Surface bubble spectra","scientist":"Julika Zinke, Matthew Salter, Paul Zieger, E.
