## Abstract Methods are described whereby 28 measurements were made of the rates at which cold air masses crossing the eastern North Atlantic were receiving heat and water vapour from the sea. It is shown that the rate of heat transfer is closely associated with the difference between the sea tempe

Abstract
The sulphur content in the precipitation collected on Ocean weather ships in the North Atlantic has been analysed. From these data and from the results of trajectory computations it is concluded that considerable amounts of anthropogenic sulphur are transported from North America towards Europe. the dry deposition of sulphur over the Atlantic must be small except close to the emitting sources. the amount of sulphur in precipitation from air coming from the high pressure area near the Azores is very small. It is concluded that the normal global value of natural sulphur in precipitation can hardly be larger than 0.1 mg 1^β1^.

## Abstract An empirical investigation of the effect of the stability of the atmosphere on nearβsurface maritime aerosol concentrations is presented. the data base consists of an extensive series of aerosol experiments conducted on the western coast of the Outer Hebrides. In the absence of any wel
