Recent Trends in Satellite-Derived Chlorophyll and Aerosol Optical Depth Together with Simulated Dimethylsulfide in the Eastern China Marginal Seas
The biogenic compound dimethylsulfide (DMS) produced by a range of marine biota is the major natural source of reduced sulfur to the atmosphere and...

A review on air–sea exchange of reactive trace gases over the northern Indian Ocean
In the Earth’s atmosphere, greenhouse gases (GHGs) and reactive trace gases are essential components of chemistry–climate interactions. These trace...

Biogenic production of DMSP and its degradation to DMS—their roles in the global sulfur cycle
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is the most abundant form of volatile sulfur in Earth’s oceans, and is mainly produced by the enzymatic clevage of...

Characteristics of vertical distributions of methane and dimethylsulphoniopropionate in the southern Yap Trench
Methane (CH 4 ) and dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) are major carbon and sulfur sources for bacterioplankton in the ocean. We investigated the...

The quantitative role of microzooplankton grazing in dimethylsulfide (DMS) production in the NW Mediterranean
The ubiquitous, biogenic trace gas dimethylsulfide (DMS) represents the largest natural source of atmospheric sulfur. Given DMS involvement in cloud...
