The Western Atlantic Ocean Experiment (WATOX) investigates the flux and fate of sulfur, nitrogen, and trace-metal and trace-organic compounds eastward from North America. Using a variety of sampling platforms (ships, aircraft, islands), samples of gases, aerosols, and precipitation have been used to determine the impact of North America on atmospheric chemical cycles of the western Atlantic Ocean. This paper provides an overview of the results obtained since WATOX began in 1980.
