Short summary
Cyanobacteria form massive summer blooms in the Baltic Sea that release organic compounds to the ocean’s surface. By analyzing the thin boundary layer between ocean and atmosphere, this study shows that cyanobacteria influence the molecular composition and surface properties of the sea surface, increasing surfactants that may reduce gas exchange. The findings provide new insight into how future cyanobacteria blooms could affect air-sea interactions and climate-related processes.
