Current parametrization of cloudaerosol interactions of nascent sea-spray aerosols (SSA) in the climate models is hampered by our limited understanding of the constituents of organic aerosols. We investigated here the mass concentrations, molecular distributions, and relative abundances of hydroxy fatty acids (FAs), ubiquitous lipid compounds in the SSA collected over the western Pacific Ocean (35 degrees N40 degrees S). Detectable levels of methanesulfonic acid (an oxidation product of dimethyl sulfide) and high enrichment factors of Mg2+ and Ca2+ relative to Na+ emphasize the impact of the marine biological activity on the organic fraction of SSA. The molecular distributions of beta-hydroxy FAs with characteristic "odd-C" predominance (C-9 > C-10 and C-11 > C-12) among short-chain homologues (
