The goal of the international GEOTRACES program is to understand the distributions of trace chemical elements and their isotopes in the oceans. An essential part of this effort is determining the sources of trace elements to the oceans, one of which is from the atmosphere: dust falling from the air, and rain, both deliver elements to the sea surface. This project would collect and analyze samples of rainwater and of particles from the atmosphere, along a U.S. GEOTRACES expedition from Alaska to Tahiti in the fall of 2018. The timing of the expedition corresponds to the part of the year with the highest atmospheric dust concentrations in the Gulf of Alaska and may also capture the tail end of peak fire season in Asia. In contrast, the southern end of the proposed ship track is known to have very low atmospheric dust. Aerosols will be influenced by human activity in Asia as well. The anticipated differences in atmospheric deposition along the ship track will allow the assessment of the role of this process on trace element and isotope cycling. The project will support a postdoctoral investigator. The relevance of ocean-atmosphere studies to the public will be communicated at campus open house events and in online forums in collaboration with the GEOTRACES management team.In alignment with the mission of GEOTRACES, the proposed research will address the following biogeochemical and oceanographic questions: 1) What is the magnitude of atmospheric aerosol deposition (wet and dry) to the surface of the Pacific Ocean? 2) What is the chemical composition of these aerosols and how does composition vary based on source (e.g. Alaskan glacial flour, Asian mineral dust, emissions from biomass burning, anthropogenic emissions)? 3) What is the fractional solubility of trace elements in Pacific aerosols and does solubility vary based on aerosol source? 4) What is the potential bioavailability of soluble aerosol Fe? 5) How is the soluble fraction of aerosol trace elements distributed across operationally defined size classes? 6) How does atmospheric deposition impact distributions of other GEOTRACES parameters? Atmospheric aerosol and precipitation samples will be collected over the 70-day expedition and the investigators will provide sub-samples to collaborators and other interested scientists. These samples will be analyzed for a suite of key trace elements from bulk and size-fractionated aerosol samples, aerosol leachates, and rain samples. A sequential extraction scheme designed to solubilize aerosol Fe as a function of its FeOx morphology and particle size will be used on selected samples because an understanding of aerosol trace element fractional solubility is fundamental to future work to assess the bioavailability of aerosol derived trace elements. The proposed work will provide data that directly contribute to the GEOTRACES objectives related to atmospheric deposition and will help to address temporal variability as this cruise section follows the CLIVAR/Repeat Hydrography P16N line.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

国际GEOTRACES计划的目标是了解微量化学元素及其同位素在海洋中的分布。这项工作的一个重要部分是确定海洋微量元素的来源，其中之一是来自大气：从空气中落下的灰尘和雨水都将元素输送到海面。该项目将收集和分析雨水和大气颗粒物的样本，沿着2018年秋季从阿拉斯加到塔希提岛的美国GEOTRACES探险队。探险的时间对应于一年中阿拉斯加湾大气粉尘浓度最高的部分，也可能捕捉亚洲火灾高峰季节的尾端。相比之下，拟议中的船舶轨道南端已知大气尘埃非常低。气溶胶也将受到亚洲人类活动的影响。预期的大气沉积沿着船轨迹的差异将允许评估这一过程对微量元素和同位素循环的作用。该项目将资助一名博士后研究员。海洋大气研究的相关性将在校园开放日活动和在线论坛上与GEOTRACES管理团队合作进行交流。与GEOTRACES的使命一致，拟议的研究将解决以下地球化学和海洋学问题：1）大气气溶胶沉积（湿和干）到太平洋表面的程度如何？2)这些气溶胶的化学成分是什么？成分如何根据来源而变化（例如阿拉斯加冰川粉，亚洲矿物粉尘，生物质燃烧排放，人为排放）？3)太平洋气溶胶中微量元素的溶解度分数是多少？溶解度是否因气溶胶来源而异？4)可溶性气溶胶铁的潜在生物利用度是多少？5)气溶胶微量元素的可溶部分如何分布在操作定义的大小类别？6)大气沉降如何影响其他GEOTRACES参数的分布？在为期70天的考察中，将收集大气气溶胶和降水样本，调查人员将向合作者和其他感兴趣的科学家提供子样本。这些样品将分析一套关键的微量元素，从散装和大小分级的气溶胶样品，气溶胶沥滤物，和雨水样品。一个连续的提取方案，旨在溶解气溶胶铁作为其FeOx形态和粒度的函数，将被用于选定的样品，因为气溶胶微量元素部分溶解度的理解是未来的工作，以评估气溶胶衍生的微量元素的生物利用度的基础。拟议的工作将提供直接有助于实现GEOTRACES与大气沉积有关的目标的数据，并将有助于解决时间变化问题，因为该巡航段遵循CLIVAR/Repeat Hydrography P16 N线。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
