Short summary
Continental outflows from East Asia significantly impact marine aerosols and ecosystems. This study examines aerosol composition and size distribution over the eastern China seas across four seasons, revealing how anthropogenic pollutants interact with natural aerosols. The strong effects of these interactions on nitrogen partitioning, dust composition, and sea salt chloride depletion are quantified, with implications for understanding nutrient deposition and coastal ozone chemistry.
