Sea salt aerosols is critical particles in natural world that influence climate regulation, chemical processes of atmospheric, and cloud condensation nuclei formation. Accurate quantification of emission fluxes in these three areas and the development of reliable source function models are essential for climate modeling and environmental assessment. In this paper, major sea salt aerosol source function estimation methods, including the whitecap coverage method, the steady-state dry deposition method, and micrometeorological approaches, were reviewed, and environmental variables such as wind forcing, wave breaking intensity, water temperature, and surface organic enrichment in sea salt aerosol generation were analyzed. In addition, the main source function formulations derived from different methods are summarized. Recent literature indicates that current source function models cannot be widely applied at the global scale. It is expected that future studies will integrate deep learning techniques with remote sensing and reanalysis datasets to develop widely applicable source function models of sea salt aerosols.
