Remote marine aerosol samples (total suspended particles) were collected during a cruise in the central Pacific from Japan to Mexico (1 degrees 59'N-35 degrees N and 171 degrees 54'E-90 degrees 58'W). The aerosol samples were analyzed for dicarboxylic acids (C-2-C-11), omega-oxoacids, pyruvic acid, alpha-dicarbonyls, and fatty acids as well as organic and elemental carbon, water-soluble organic carbon, and total nitrogen (WSTN). During the study, diacids were the most abundant compound class followed by fatty acids, omega-oxoacids, and alpha-dicarbonyls. Molecular compositions of diacids showed a predominance of oxalic (C-2) acid followed by malonic (C-3) and succinic (C-4) acids. Oxalic acid comprises 74% of total diacids. This result suggests that photochemical production of oxalic acid is significant over the central Pacific. Spatial distributions of diacids, omega-oxoacids, pyruvic acid, alpha-dicarbonyls, and fatty acids together with total carbon and WSTN showed higher abundances in the eastern equatorial Pacific where the upwelling of high-nutrient waters followed by high biological productivity is common, indicating that their in situ production is important in the warmer central Pacific through photochemical oxidation from their gaseous and particulate precursors. This study demonstrates that there is a strong linkage in biogeochemical cycles of carbon in the sea-air interface via ocean upwelling, phytoplankton productivity, sea-to-air emissions of organic matter, and formation of secondary organic aerosols in the eastern equatorial Pacific.
