This work addressed the ocean biogeochemical context of two climate-relevant gases: carbon dioxide (CO2) and dimethylsulfide (DMS). We combined time-series measurements and a model of ocean physics to conduct two diagnostic modeling studies. The objective of the first case study was to estimate gros...
