Popis:	A relationship between ocean surface wind speed and sea salt aerosol production is established through a study carried out using the aerosol flux continuity equation by introducing satellite data on aerosols and ocean surface wind speed into it. This mathematical approach eliminates interferences from background aerosols and aerosol variations due to advection and convergences/divergences in wind field and correctly estimates the rate of sea salt aerosol production by winds. To avoid oceanic biogenic sources and transport from other oceanic and land regions, the study is done over ocean sites substantially remote from the continents with low chlorophyll concentrations ( 3 ) and restricting to aerosols in the bottom layer ( R WS =0.99, p R WB =0.97, p
