Air filter samples were taken over the subtropical North Atlantic under the temporary influence of a Saharan dust plume. Analyses for trace metals showed that most of the determined elements (Al, Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, Zn, Cs, La, Ce, Sm, and Th) were predominantly of crustal origin. Additionally, for Mn and Se a significant marine contribution could be detected.
