Aqueous sea salt micro-aerosols play an important role in the heterogenous chemistry of the lower marine troposphere both in polluted and in remote areas. In particular, reactions with gases such as ozone or OH radicals leading to the release of molecular chlorine have been intensely studied, both experimentally and theoretically. Moreover, thin layers of sea water deposited on Artic ice packs have been discovered to be a major source of reactive bromine species which destroy the surface ozone layer during polar sunrise. There is increasing evidence that the air-water interface is of a key importance in these chemical processes. Despite this, little has been known about the structure and physical properties of aqueous sea salt aerosols at a detailed molecular level.
