Atmospheric particles were collected over the open sea (western Mediterranean, North Atlantic, and Norwegian Sea) by air filtration and cascade impactor sampling. The observed K/Na concentration ratios exhibited marked variation and were greater than the reference ratio in bulk sea water. These concentration ratios can be related to the existence of a
