| Summary: | Global emissions of methanethiol (MeSH) are highly uncertain and the drivers influencing its seawater concentrations are quasi unexplored. Here we try to address this gap in our understanding by contributing new seawater concentration measurements from the Southern Ocean. The POLAR-CHANGE cruise was conducted in February and March 2023 on board the BIO RV Hesperides A33 in waters of the Antarctic Peninsula and the Weddell Sea. A Vocus PTR-ToF (TOFWERK AG, Thun, Switzerland, Vocus Scout) coupled to a segmented flow coil equilibrator (SFCE) was used to measure DMS and MeSH in seawater from the underway seawater inlet. This dataset contains MeSH and DMS surface seawater concentrations and relevant auxiliary data (chlorophyll a, sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS)). Sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salitity (SSS) were measured in seawater from the underway water inlet located at 4-5 m depth. There was good agreement between the underway SST, SSS and the CTD sensors, ... |
