Scientists are exploring the sea surface microlayer (SML), a thin film at the ocean's surface, to understand its role in biogeochemical processes, air-sea exchange, and marine ecosystems.
Researchers are studying the sea surface microlayer (SML), a thin film at the interface between the ocean and the atmosphere, which plays a crucial role in various biogeochemical processes. The SML is enriched with organic matter and microorganisms, making it a hotspot for chemical reactions and nutrient cycling.
Scientists are using advanced technologies to investigate the composition, physical properties, and biological activity of the SML, shedding light on its impact on air-sea exchange, climate regulation, and marine ecosystems
