Dimethylsulfide emissions over the multi-year ice of the western Weddell Sea
This study, conducted in December 2004, is the first to present observations of DMS in a snow pack covering the multi-year sea ice of the western Weddell Sea. The snow layer is important because it is the interface through which DMS needs to be transported in order to be emitted directly from the ic...

This study, conducted in December 2004, is the first to present observations of DMS in a snow pack covering the multi-year sea ice of the western Weddell Sea.

High concentrations of DMS, up to 6000 nmol m-3, were found during the first weeks of December but concentrations sharply decline as late spring-early summer progresses.
