[1] Particulate water‐soluble organic nitrogen (ON) was measured over the South China Sea, the Yellow Sea and at a coastal site at Qingdao in spring 2005 and 2006 to study its impact on the oceanic ecosystem over the China sea. ON contributed ∼30% of the total water‐soluble particulate nitrogen over the South China Sea and ∼20% over the Yellow Sea and in Qingdao. More than 70% of the ON existed in the fine mode particles (2.1 mm). During dust‐storm events, ON in the coarse particles (2.1 mm) increased leading to an increase of that in total suspended particulates (TSP). Factor analysis indicated that ON mainly originated from anthropogenic sources while a relatively small amount was from marine and crustal sources. Urea, on the average, represented ∼8% of the total ON over the marginal sea of China. In the non‐dust aerosols, ∼50% of urea existed in the fine mode over the Yellow Sea and Qingdao, but the percentage decreased to ∼30% in the dust aerosols. Free amino acids were generally a minor component of the ON, only accounting for ∼ 1% of the total ON. Citation: Shi, J., H. Gao, J. Qi, J. Zhang, and X.
