Marine biogenic sulphur affects Earth’s radiation budget and may be an indicator of primary productivity in the Southern Ocean, which is closely related to atmospheric CO(2) variability through the biological pump. Previous ice-core studies in Antarctica show little climate dependence of marine biog...
