东海和黄海二甲基亚砜（DMSO）的季节和空间变化

Seasonal and spatial distributions of dissolved and particulate dimethylsulfoxide(DMSOd,DMSOp)were measured in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea during March–April 2011 and October–November 2011.The concentrations of DMSOd and DMSOp in the surface water were 20.6(5.13–73.8)and 8.90(3.75–29.6)nmol/L in spring,and 13.4(4.17–42.7)and 8.18(3.44–22.6)nmol/L in autumn,respectively.Both DMSOd and DMSOp concentrations revealed similar seasonal changes with higher values occurring in spring,mainly because of the higher phytoplankton biomass observed in spring.Moreover,the ratios of DMSOp/chlorophyll a also exhibited an apparent seasonal change with higher values in autumn(35.7 mmol/g)and lower values in spring(23.4 mmol/g),thereby corresponding with the seasonal variation in the proportion of DMSO producers in the phytoplankton community between spring and autumn.In addition,DMSOd and DMSOp concentrations in the surface seawater revealed obvious diurnal variations with the maxima appearing in the afternoon.     

秋季东海二甲基亚砜的分布与影响因素研究

2010年11月对东海进行了大面调查,研究了秋季东海表层水中颗粒态和溶解态二甲基亚砜(DMSOp和DMSOd)的水平分布和PN断面的垂直分布特征及其影响因素。结果显示,表层海水中DMSOp和DMSOd的浓度范围分别为2.49~85.5nmol/L和2.27~86.6nmol/L,平均值分别为(17.2±1.40)nmol/L和(15.3±1.29)nmol/L。DMSOp水平分布与叶绿素a(Chl a)相类似,呈现近岸高、远海低的趋势,而DMSOd浓度高值区主要集中在东海西南部上升流区域。分析PN断面的垂直分布可见,DMSOp在近岸底层水中浓度较高,而DMSOd浓度在表层出现高值。相关性分析的结果表明,DMSOp与颗粒态二甲巯基丙酸内盐(DMSPp)以及DMSOp/Chl a比值与盐度分别存在一定的相关性,说明DMSOp与DMSPp具有相似的来源及生理功能。此外,DMSOd与二甲基硫(DMS)浓度具有正相关关系,说明DMS的氧化是东海DMSOd的一个重要来源途径。     

黄、渤海二甲基硫化物的浓度分布与迁移转化速率研究

于2015年8-9月对黄、渤海海域进行现场调查，研究了海水中二甲基硫（DMS）、β-二甲巯基丙酸内盐（DMSP）、二甲亚砜（DMSO）的浓度分布、相互关系及影响因素，测定了DMS的生物生产与消耗、光化学氧化和海-气扩散速率，对DMS的迁移转化速率进行综合评价。结果表明:表层海水中DMS、溶解态DMSP（DMSPd）、颗粒态DMSP（DMSPp）、溶解态DMSO（DMSOd）和颗粒态DMSO（DMSOp）浓度的平均值分别为（6.12±3.01）nmol/L、（6.03±3.45）nmol/L、（19.47±9.15）nmol/L、（16.85±8.34）nmol/L和（14.37±7.47）nmol/L，整体呈现近岸高远海低，表层高底层低的趋势。DMS、DMSPd和DMSOp浓度与叶绿素（Chl a）浓度存在显著的相关性。表层海水中DMS光氧化速率顺序为:k_UVA > k_UVB > k_可见，其中UVA波段占光氧化的70.8%。夏季黄、渤海微生物消耗、光氧化及海-气扩散对DMS去除的贡献率分别为32.4%、34.5%和33.1%，表明3种去除途径作用相当。黄、渤海DMS海-气通量变化范围为0.79~48.45 μmol/（m2·d），平均值为（11.87±11.35）μmol/（m2·d）。     

夏秋季东海陆架区二甲亚砜的分布特征及影响因素

于2013年10~11月和2014年5~6月调查测定了东海陆架区海水中二甲亚砜(DMSO)的浓度,探讨了溶解态二甲亚砜(DMSOd)和颗粒态二甲亚砜(DMSOp)的水平和垂直分布、季节变化及其影响因素;此外,对沉积物间隙水中DMSOd的浓度以及表层海水中不同粒径的DMSOp和叶绿素a(Chl a)进行了分析。结果显示,秋季和夏初表层海水中DMSOd和DMSOp的平均浓度分别为(10.52±7.16)、(8.99±6.34)nmol·L^-1和(17.51±9.90)、(16.96±10.73)nmol·L^-1,存在明显的季节差异。秋季表层海水中DMSOp的高值区出现在Chl a较低的远岸海域,而夏初表层海水中DMSO的浓度从近岸到远海逐渐降低。间隙水中DMSOd的浓度明显高于底层海水中DMSOd的浓度,说明沉积物中存在DMSO的生产释放,可能是底层海水DMSO的重要来源。此外,粒径分布结果表明较大微型浮游植物(5~20μm)是秋季东海表层海水中DMSOp的主要贡献者。     

Dissolved DMSO production via biological and photochemical oxidation of dissolved DMS in the Ross Sea,Antarctica

Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is an important degradation product of the climate-influencing gas dimethylsulfide (DMS). In the Ross Sea, Antarctica, dissolved DMSO (DMSOd) concentrations exhibited substantial seasonal and vertical variations. Surface water DMSOd concentrations in pre-bloom waters were very low (<1 nM) but increased rapidly up to 41 nM during the spring Phaeocystis antarctica bloom (late November). Increases in DMSOd concentrations lagged by several days increases in DMS concentrations. Although DMSOd concentrations reached relatively high levels during the spring bloom, concentrations were generally higher (36.3–60.6 nM) during summer (January), even though phytoplankton biomass and DMS concentrations had decreased by that time. During both seasons, DMSOd concentrations were substantially higher within the surface mixed layer than below it. DMSOd production from biological DMS consumption (BDMSC) was higher during late November (3.4–5.2 nM d^?1) than during the summer (0.7–2.4 nM d^?1); therefore, production via BDMSC alone could not explain the higher DMSOd concentrations encountered during the summer. Mixed layer-integrated DMSOd production from BDMSC was 2.5–13.7 times greater than production from dissolved DMS photolysis during the P. antarctica bloom, while photolysis contributed 1.3 times more DMSO than BDMSC before the bloom. The DMSO yield from BDMSC was consistently higher within the upper mixed layer than at depths below. Experimental incubations with water from the mixed layer showed that exposure to full spectrum sunlight for 72 h caused an increase in the DMSO yield whereas exposure to only photosynthetically active radiation did not. This suggests that ultraviolet radiation is a potential factor shifting the fate of biologically consumed DMS toward DMSO. In general, the highest DMSO yields from BDMSC were in samples with slow biological DMS turnover, whereas fast turnover favored sulfate rather than DMSO as a major end-product. This study provides the first detailed information about DMSOd distribution and production in the Ross Sea and points to DMSOd as an important biological and photochemical degradation product of DMS and a major reservoir of methylated sulfur in these polar surface waters.     

海洋中二甲基亚砜的来源、分布及迁移转化

二甲基亚砜(DMSO)是海水中的主要溶解态甲基硫化物,DMSO在二甲基硫(DMS)的生物地球化学循环中起着重要的作用。它能通过DMS的光化学氧化和细菌氧化生成,可作为DMS的1个汇,也可以通过生物直接合成或其它途径产生。DMSO同时又可以被酶、细菌、植物等还原为DMS,因此,DMSO又可充当DMS的1个源。DMSO除了能被还原为DMS外,还可能会被细菌氧化为SO42-,在氯过氧化物酶作用下被H2O2氧化为DMSO2等。海洋中DMSO的测定通常采用还原剂NaBH4将其还原为DMS后,再利用气相色谱进行测定。海水中DMSO的分布不均匀,高浓度区是那些温度较高,光照充足、浮游植物较多、生物活性较高的表层水或近岸水。

Spatial distributions of dimethylsulfide in the South China Sea

The concentration of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and supporting parameters were determined in surface seawater and vertical profiles at 26 stations in the South China Sea. The concentrations of DMS in surface seawater ranged from 61 to 148 ng S/l, with a mean of 82 ng S/l. High concentrations of DMS were found in the productive regions. The vertical profiles of DMS were characterized by a maximum at depths typically between 20 and 75 m. The concentrations of DMS were correlated with the levels of chlorophyll a both in the surface seawater and in the vertical distribution. The concentrations of DMS were higher than expected for this chlorophyll-poor tropical sea, as indicated by markedly high DMS (ng S/l)/chlorophyll a (μg/l) ratios ranging from 315 to 3524 with a mean of 1768 for all the surface seawater samples. DMS concentration was significantly correlated with seawater temperature and dissolved oxygen, but it showed an inverse relationship to nutrients (including nitrate, phosphate and silicate). On the basis of sea surface concentrations of DMS and gas exchange calculations, the mean flux of DMS from the South China Sea to the atmosphere was estimated to be 5.5 μmol m⁻² d⁻¹.     

Simple determination of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) using solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a simple, sensitive and less destructive method for the determination of dimethylsulfide (DMS) in seawater. Combined with detection by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the method had sufficient sensitivity (minimum detectable concentration of DMS was 0.05 nM), and practical levels of reproducibility (relative standard deviation ≤7%) and linearity (r ² > 0.995) over a wide concentration range (0.5 to 910 nM). The protocol developed was applied to a Sagami Bay water sample to determine concentrations of DMS and DMSP, and in situ DMSP-lyase activity.     

西太平洋雅浦海沟区海水中CH4和DMSP的垂直变化特征

本研究首次探究了西太平洋雅浦海沟北段从表层到超深渊海水中甲烷（CH₄）及二甲基硫（DMS）的前体物质二甲基巯基丙酸内盐（DMSP）的浓度变化情况。结果表明:雅浦海沟海水甲烷浓度变化范围为1.49~3.87 nmol/L。其上层海水甲烷平均浓度最高，有明显的次表层极大现象。雅浦海沟氧最小层海水的甲烷平均浓度最低；在500~1 000 m中层水中甲烷浓度有一定程度的增大，1 000 m以下至底层甲烷浓度继续升高。研究海区溶解态DMSP（DMSPd）和总DMSP（DMSPt）平均浓度的垂直变化随深度呈先增大后减小趋势，颗粒态DMSP（DMSPp）的平均浓度随深度呈波动式变化，在中层达到最大。雅浦海沟CH₄和DMSP浓度垂直变化受浮游生物、微生物、光照、温度、压力、大洋环流等的复杂影响。在真光层海水中，CH₄浓度与DMSPd、DMSPp和DMSPt浓度表现为负相关关系，在200 m至底层海水中，CH₄浓度与DMSPd、DMSPp和DMSPt浓度表现为正相关关系，显示光照条件是造成雅浦海沟不同深度海水CH₄和DMSP浓度相关性差异的关键因素。     

挪威海和格陵兰海海水DMS分布特征及影响因素研究

于2012年7—9月现场测定了北极挪威海和格陵兰海区域海水二甲基硫(DMS)及其前体物质二甲巯基丙酸内盐(DMSP,分溶解态DMSPd和颗粒态DMSPp)的含量,研究了其空间分布格局及其影响因素,探讨了表层海水DMS的生物周转和去除途径。结果表明,表层海水DMS、DMSPd和DMSPp的平均浓度分别为5.36nmol/L、15.63nmol/L和96.73nmol/L,受挪威海流和北极深层水影响,表层海水二甲基硫化物浓度呈现出由低纬度向高纬度海域递减的趋势。DMSPd和DMSPp浓度与Chl a浓度均有显著的相关性,说明浮游植物生物量是影响挪威海和格陵兰海二甲基硫化物生产的重要因素。表层海水DMS生物生产和消费速率平均值分别为18.19nmol/(L·d)、15.67nmol/(L·d)。DMS微生物周转时间变化范围为0.03~1.80d,平均值为0.49d,DMS海-气周转时间是微生物消费时间的90倍,说明夏季挪威海和格陵兰海表层海水中DMS微生物消费过程是比海-气扩散更具优势的去除机制。     

春秋季南黄海二甲基硫(DMS)与二甲巯基丙酸(DMSP)的浓度分布研究

Temporal distributions of dimethylsulfide(DMS) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate(DMSP) were studied in the southern Yellow Sea(SYS) during April and September 2010. The mean concentrations(range) of DMS, dissolved and particulate DMSP(DMSPd and DMSPp) in the surface waters in spring are 1.69(0.48–4.92), 3.18(0.68–6.75)and 15.81(2.82–52.33) nmol/L, respectively, and those in autumn are 2.80(1.33–5.10), 5.45(2.19–11.30) and 30.63(6.24–137.87) nmol/L. On the whole, the distributions of DMS and DMSP in spring are completely different from those in autumn. In the central part of the SYS, the concentrations of DMS and DMSP in spring are obviously higher than those in autumn, but the opposite situation is found on the south of 34°N, which can be attributed to the differences in nutrients and phytoplankton biomass and composition between spring and autumn. Besides,the seasonal variations of water column stability and the Changjiang diluted water also have significant impact on the distributions of DMS and DMSP in spring and autumn on the south of 34°N. DMS and DMSPp concentrations coincide well with chlorophyll a(Chl a) levels in the spring cruise, suggesting that phytoplankton biomass may play an important role in controlling the distributions of DMS and DMSPp in the study area. Annual DMS emission rates range from 0.015 to 0.033 Tg/a(calculated by S), respectively, using the equations of Liss and Merlivat(1986) and Wanninkhof(1992). This result implies a significant relative contribution of the SYS to the global oceanic DMS fluxes.     

海水温度对衰亡期浒苔释放生源硫影响的模拟研究

为研究浒苔释放生源硫的特征，本文对采集于黄海绿潮中期和末期的浒苔进行了实验室模拟培养，探讨了不同温度对衰亡期浒苔释放生源硫化物的影响。实验结果表明，在10~25℃温度范围内，温度升高能够加速浒苔的衰亡。二甲基硫（DMS）的平均释放速率范围为2.79~150.70 nmol/（L·g·d），二甲基硫基丙酸内盐（DMSP）的平均释放速率范围为2.16~113.26 nmol/（L·g·d）。温度升高能够使DMS和DMSP的释放速率加快，释放量增加，DMS最大平均释放速率在25℃条件下比10℃条件下升高了约60%，培养液中DMS浓度升高了2~3倍。采集于绿潮末期的浒苔培养液中的DMS和DMSP和采集于绿潮中期的浒苔相比，浓度有所增加，采集于浒苔绿潮末期浒苔培养液中DMS的最高平均浓度为418.41 nmol/L，约为中期的4倍；DMSP的最高平均浓度为316.14 nmol/L，是中期的3倍。浒苔绿潮的爆发会对水体中的硫体系循环产生影响，进而影响该海域生态环境。

夏季长江口海域溶解态铁的分布及混合行为研究

本文基于2015年7月长江口的现场调查资料,分析讨论了长江河口区溶解态铁(DFe)的含量分布与混合行为及其影响因素。结果表明:长江径流携带大量的DFe入海,且口内区(Ⅰ)浓度高于混合区(Ⅱ)和外海区(Ⅲ),平均浓度分别为166.45±6.26nmol/L,14.04±8.80nmol/L和6.18±1.51nmol/L。受去除作用和海水稀释的影响,在河口区DFe的浓度下降率达到96.92%。DFe浓度与盐度的关系符合指数模型,由模型与理论稀释线估算的长江口海域DFe的理论最大去除率为97.75%,与实际测得的最大浓度下降率相近。长江冲淡水、苏北沿岸流和台湾暖流影响DFe的水平分布。受长江冲淡水影响,长江口外海域DFe浓度高达176.50nmol/L。苏北沿岸流主要影响研究区域北部的表层水,其携带的DFe浓度低于长江冲淡水。台湾暖流是导致研究区域东南部DFe浓度较低的主要原因,使得中层和底层水中浓度分别低至4.04nmol/L和4.79nmol/L。另外,在表层海水中DFe的分布受到叶绿素a、溶解有机碳和溶解氧的共同影响,DFe与叶绿素a、溶解氧呈显著负相关,与溶解有机碳呈显著正相关。     

Seasonal variations of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in the sea-surface microlayer and subsurface water of Jiaozhou Bay and its adjacent area

The distributions of DMS and its precursor dimethylsulfoniopropionate, in both dissolved (DMSP_d) and particulate fractions (DMSP_p) were determined in the seasurface microlayer and corresponding subsurface water of the Jiaozhou Bay, China and its adjacent area in May and August 2006. The concentrations of all these components showed a clear seasonal variation, with higher concentrations occurring in summer. This can be mainly attributed to the higher phytoplankton biomass observed in summer. Simultaneously, the enrichment extents of DMSP_d and DMSP_p in the microlayer also exhibited seasonal changes, with higher values in spring and lower ones in summer. Higher water temperature and stronger radiant intensity in summer can enhance their solubility and photochemical reaction in the microlayer water, reducing their enrichment factors (the ratio of concentration in the microlayer to that in the corresponding subsurface water). A statistically significant relationship was found between the microlayer and subsurface water concentrations of DMS, DMSP and chlorophyll a, demonstrating that the biogenic materials in the microlayer come primarily from the underlying water. Moreover, our data show that the concentrations of DMSP_p and DMS were significantly correlated with the levels of chlorophyll a, indicating that phytoplankton biomass might play an important role in controlling the distributions of biogenic sulfurs in the study area. The ratios of DMS/chlorophyll a and DMSP_p/chlorophyll a varied little from spring to summer, suggesting that there was no obvious change in the proportion of DMSP producers in the phytoplankton community. The mean sea-to-air flux of DMS from the study area was estimated to be 5.70 μmol/(m²·d), which highlights the effects of human impacts on DMS emission.     

Dimethylsulfide enrichment in the surface microlayer of the South China Sea

A total of 22 sea surface microlayer samples collected from the Nansha Islands waters of the South China Sea were analyzed for dimethylsulfide (DMS), chlorophyll a and nutrients including nitrate, phosphate and silicate. The DMS concentrations in surface microlayer samples ranged from 82 to 280 ng S/l with a mean of 145 ng S/l. A significant correlation was found between DMS and chlorophyll a data both in the surface microlayer as well as in the subsurface water. However, no correlation was observed between DMS and nutrient concentrations in the surface microlayer. The DMS concentrations were higher in all surface microlayer samples, compared with subsurface samples. The enrichment factor (EF) of DMS in the surface microlayer varied from 1.21 to 3.08 with an average of 1.95. The EF of DMS was significantly correlated with that of chlorophyll a in the microlayer. The enrichment of DMS in the microlayer may be due to two factors, including the in situ production from phytoplankton and the transportation from the underlying seawater. The diel variations in DMS and chlorophyll a concentrations were studied at a fixed station. The highest concentrations of DMS in the surface microlayer and subsurface water were simultaneously observed in the late afternoon (1800 h), while the highest levels of chlorophyll a were simultaneously found at night (0200 h).     

Distribution of biogenic sulphur compounds during and just after the southwest monsoon in the Arabian Sea

The Arabian Sea is characterised by strong seasonal oscillations of biological productivity generated by its monsoonal climate. The southwest monsoon causes reversal in the surface circulation of the Arabian Sea, which generates a seasonal upwelling of nutrient-rich waters along the coast of Oman. Concentrations of biogenic sulphur compounds were measured on a transect from the eutrophic waters off the coast of Oman to the oligotrophic waters of the open Arabian Sea, during the UK NERC Arabesque cruise 27 August–4 October 1994. The concentrations of dimethylsulphide (DMS), dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) were found to be elevated in the eutrophic area due to enhanced biological production. However, this increase in DMS, DMSO and DMSP concentration was not observed until after the southwest monsoon had relaxed, and appeared to correspond to increased concentrations of hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin, an indicator of prymnesiophytes. DMSO concentrations were correlated with those of DMS and DMSP in the near surface waters of the Arabian Sea. Additionally, DMSO appeared to be ubiquitous throughout the water column, being easily detectable in deep waters, which suggests that DMSO may act as a sink for DMS in the world’s oceans.     

The Increase of Biogenic Sulfate Aerosol and Particle Number in Marine Atmosphere over the Northwestern North Pacific

During a cruise aboard the R/V Hakuho-maru in the northwestern North Pacific in the summer of 1998 the particle number concentrations and the major ionic components of size fractionated aerosols were measured to investigate the aerosol produced by marine biological activity. Continuous low concentrations of nitrate (<1.8 nmol m⁻³), similar to the marine air background level, were found over the northwestern North Pacific (40–45°N) and the Sea of Okhotsk (44–45°N). Over the Sea of Okhotsk, a high concentration of chlorophyll-a (5.4 mg m⁻³) in seawater was observed, and atmospheric concentrations of non sea-salt (nss-) sulfate (44 nmol m⁻³), methane sulfonic acid (MSA) (1.8 nmol m⁻³) and particle number in the size range of 0.1 < D < 0.5 μm (199 cm⁻³) were found to be 9, 7, and 2 times, respectively, higher than those in the background marine air. The increase in particle number concentrations mainly in the size range of 0.2 < D < 0.3 μm was likely caused by the increase of biogenic sulfate over the high productive region of the Sea of Okhotsk. In humid air conditions (R.H. > 96%), the increased biogenic sulfate that condensed the large amount of water vapor would not have sufficient solute mass to activate as cloud condensation nuclei (CNN) and would remain as aerosol particles in the marine air with frequent sea-fogs over the high productive region. Biogenic sulfate originating from dimethyl sulfide (DMS) would gradually grow into the CCN size and continuously supply a great number of CCN to the marine air in the northwestern North Pacific. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Factors determining the vertical profile of dimethylsulfide in the Sargasso Sea during summer

The major source of reduced sulfur in the remote marine atmosphere is the biogenic compound dimethylsulfide (DMS), which is ubiquitous in the world's oceans and released through food web interactions. Relevant fluxes and concentrations of DMS, its phytoplankton-produced precursor, dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and related parameters were measured during an intensive Lagrangian field study in two mesoscale eddies in the Sargasso Sea during July–August 2004, a period characterized by high mixed-layer DMS and low chlorophyll—the so-called ‘DMS summer paradox’. We used a 1-D vertically variable DMS production model forced with output from a 1-D vertical mixing model to evaluate the extent to which the simulated vertical structure in DMS and DMSP was consistent with changes expected from field-determined rate measurements of individual processes, such as photolysis, microbial DMS and dissolved DMSP turnover, and air–sea gas exchange. Model numerical experiments and related parametric sensitivity analyses suggested that the vertical structure of the DMS profile in the upper 60 m was determined mainly by the interplay of the two depth-variable processes—vertical mixing and photolysis—and less by biological consumption of DMS. A key finding from the model calibration was the need to increase the DMS(P) algal exudation rate constant, which includes the effects of cell rupture due to grazing and cell lysis, to significantly higher values than previously used in other regions. This was consistent with the small algal cell size and therefore high surface area-to-volume ratio of the dominant DMSP-producing group—the picoeukaryotes.
