Ocean-atmosphere interactions in the global biogeochemical sulfur cycle

TL;DR: The ability of these aerosol particles to nucleate cloud droplets, and thereby influence the reflectivity and stability of clouds, forms the basis of a proposed geophysiological feedback loop involving phytoplankton, atmospheric sulfur, and climate as discussed by the authors.

Dimethyl sulfide in the surface ocean and the marine atmosphere: a global view.

TL;DR: The estimated source flux of D MS from the oceans to the marine atmosphere is in agreement with independently obtained estimates of the removal fluxes of DMS and its oxidation products from the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological removal of dimethyl sulphide from sea water

TL;DR: In the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, DMS turnover is dominated by biological processes, with turnover times for biological DMS removal generally more than ten (3-430) times faster than turnover by ventilation to the atmosphere.

The Ocean as a Source of Atmospheric Sulfur Compounds

TL;DR: The impact of human activity on the global atmospheric sulfur cycle is easily seen in densely inhabited, industrialized regions: the degradation of visibility by haze, the acidity of atmospheric precipitation, and the damage to forest vegetation are among the more obvious symptoms of this impact as mentioned in this paper.
