Investigating the relation between aerosol optical depth, dimethylsulphide production and phytoplankton dynamics in the Antarctic Southern Ocean
Entry ID:
ASAC_2319
Summary
Abstract:
---- Public Summary from Project ----
Understanding the strength of possible biological feedbacks is crucial to the science of climate change. This project aims to improve our understanding of one such feedback, the biogenic production of dimethylsulphide (DMS) and its impact on atmospheric aerosols. The Antarctic ocean is potentially a major source of DMS-derived aerosols. The project will ...

CHL (mg per cubic metre) and AOD were obtained from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) archive for the period Sept 1997 - Feb 2004. Level 3 (9x9 square kilometre) 8-day binned data representing 46 products per year were processed into standard mapped image (SMI) format. The AOD is proportional to aerosol particle concentration from the ocean surface to the top of the atmosphere ...
