Abstract

Abstract

The dimethylsulfide (DMS), dissolved and particulate dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSPd and DMSPp) concentrations were determined in the Norwegian and Greenland Seas during summer of 2012. Surface DMS, DMSPd and DMSPp concentrations in the study area increased significantly from high latitudes to low latitudes, with the average values of 5.36, 15.63 and 96.73 nmol/L, respectively. Moreover, the biological production and consumption rates of DMS were estimated during the cruise, with the average values of 18.19 and 15.67 nmol/(L·d), respectively. Our results showed that the spatial variation of chlorophyll a was consistent with that of DMSPd and DMSPp concentrations, suggesting that phytoplankton biomass might play an important role in controlling the distribution of DMSP in the study area. In the surface water, the biological turnover time of DMS varied from 0.03 to 1.8 days, with an average of 0.49 days, which was about 90-fold faster than the mean DMS sea-air turnover time (28.8 days). Thus, the main sink of DMS in the surface water appears to be microbial consumption.
