• A physically based framework for modeling the organic fractionation of sea spray aerosol from bubble film Langmuir equilibria (2014, background): “, 2001), or alternatively buoyant rise associated with TEP (transparent exopolymeric particles; Azetsu-Scott and Passow, 2004).”
• Water residence time: A regulatory factor of the DOM to POM transfer efficiency (2007, background): “As a result, the relative proportions of TEP, solid particles (i.e., non-TEP particles) and interstitial water within an aggregate, as well as their respective densities, govern its vertical transport velocity and direction (upward or downward; Azetsu-Scott and Passow 2004).”
• Marine snow formation in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (2012, background): “However, TEP are positively buoyant (Azetsu-Scott and Passow 2004), and our density and sinking velocity measurements suggest that the contribution of mucus must have declined by the time the GoM-snow sank.”
• Characteristics and roles of Microcystis extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in cyanobacterial blooms: a short review (2018, background): “TEP as the discrete type of EPS might aggregate, move downward, or upward due to the low density of TEP (Passow 2002; Azetsu-Scott and Passow 2004; Xavier Mari et al. 2017).”
• Seasonal study of sea-ice exopolymeric substances on the Mackenzie shelf: implications for transport of sea-ice bacteria and algae (2006, background): “These exopolymers could ascend in association with attached bacteria and/or larger organic or inorganic particles that would sink in their absence (Azetsu-Scott & Passow 2004).”
• The biological pump in a high CO 2 world (2012, background): “TEP are an essential component of aggregates, having impacts on both their formation (Alldredge et al. 1993, Alldredge & Jackson 1995) and sinking velocity (Engel & Schartau 1999, Azetsu-Scott & Passow 2004).”
