Abstract: The manuscript addresses the atmospheric deposition of organic matter in the Mediterranean, for which there is little data available.It quantiï ň Ąes such deposition in the small island of Lampedusa in the Central Mediterranean, in terms of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus.It also tries to untangle possible sources of such organic matter.In this aspect the manuscript is less conclusive as there is no good relationship to aerosol origin or type of deposition.The conclusion is that the OM is mainly coming from sea spray that the different air masses pick up and transport to wind up depositing.It could be in large part but really it is just a hypothesis that needs further exploration.
