Cycling of DMS,P in Early-winter Ross Sea Pack Ice during the PIPERS Project
Ice-algal assemblages are known to produce large amounts of the sulfur metabolite dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), and of its volatile degradation product dimethylsulfide (DMS). Sea ice DMS is subsequently released to the polar ocean and atmosphere where it plays multiple roles in the sulfur and c...
