Fig. 1: Map depicting sampling stations and viral enrichment in SML and sea foam.
From: Marine viruses disperse bidirectionally along the natural water cycle
Map of sampling sites was generated using Ocean Data View143 and Map Maker https://maps.co. For further details about the stations, please refer to Supplementary data 9 (a). Gradient of virus-like particles (VLP) in sea foam (b), surface microlayer (c), and 1-m deep subsurface water (d) recorded in epifluorescence microscopy with VLP counts mL−1 from Station 4 as obtained from flow cytometry. VLPs stick to particulate matter in foams (e). Sea foams were collected as floating patches from the ocean’s surface (representative photograph, (f). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
