Short summary
Atmospheric organic nitrogen is an important fraction in marine aerosols, and plays vital roles in organic aerosol absorption and maintaining primary productivity in the open ocean. However, abundance or sources of aerosol organic nitrogen remain unclear in the marine boundary layer. Here, we found that anthropogenic secondary pollutants and dust drove the organic nitrogen formation and the light absorption by organic aerosols over East Asian marginal seas.
