Biogeochemical Coupling between Ocean and Atmosphere—A Tribute to the Lifetime Contribution of Robert A. Duce

To mark the publication of the special collection in honor of Robert (Bob) A. Duce in the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, we have summarized his most important contributions to the subject of biogeochemical coupling between the atmosphere and ocean. Here we have divided these contributions into four themes—deposition from the atmosphere and its effects on the oceans, volatile elements emitted from the oceans, sea surface biology and aerosol formation, and marine aerosols and clouds. It is our intent that this summary along with the papers in this special collection provide an overview of the enormous contributions that Bob Duce has made to the subject during his distinguished scientific career.
