Aeolian transport and deposition of plant wax n-alkanes across the tropical North Atlantic Ocean

Long chain n-alkanes are terrestrial higher plant biomarkers used to reconstruct continental paleoclimatic and paleohydrological conditions with marine sedimentary archives. Latitudinal variation in their concentration and distribution in marine sediments relatively close to the continent has been widely studied, but little is known on how far this continental signal extends into the ocean. Furthermore, no studies have examined the seasonal variation in the deposition of these biomarkers in marine sediments. Here we studied longitudinal variation in the composition of long chain n-alkanes and... Mehr ...
