Abstract

Abstract

The Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea are continental shelf areas with high production of dimethyl sulfide (DMS). Field investigation of DMS in this area is helpful to accurately assess its amount released from the ocean and its negative feedback on global climate change. Both model-based and direct measurement methods are based on DMS concentration in surface seawater and lower atmosphere, respectively, so advanced detection technology plays a decisive role in the accurate flux estimation. Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, chemiluminescence and satellite remote sensing are commonly used observation techniques. At this paper, a method based on benzene-assisted photoionization positive ion mobility spectrometry (BAPI-PIMS) for in-situ observation of DMS in seawater is proposed. Combined with dynamic gas stripping and on-line water removal Nafion tube sampling system, the interference of environmental water vapor is eliminated. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range based on the two DMS product ions is 0.10−120 nmol/L, and the detection limit is as low as 0.065 nmol/L. Then the demonstrated method is applied to field detect DMS in the Bohai Sea and northern Yellow Sea, and the concentration of DMS in surface seawater ranged from 0.08 nmol/L to 0.96 nmol/L, while the air-sea exchange flux ranged from 0.12 μmol/(m²·d) to 17.75 μmol/(m²·d). Lastly, the difference between DMS detected on field and in lab and the main impact factors are discussed via the correlation analysis and canonical correspondence analysis, and results show that nutrients and phytoplankton community are the main factors during the seawater preservation, indicating the important significance of field observation method established currently for accurate evaluation of DMS release from the ocean.
