| description | The global budget of tropospheric carbonyl sulfide (OCS) is believed to be
at equilibrium because background air concentrations have remained roughly
stable over at least the last decade. Since the uptake of OCS by leaves
(associated with photosynthesis) and soils have been revised significantly
upwards recently, an equilibrated budget can only be obtained with a
compensatory source of OCS. It has been assumed that the missing source of
OCS comes from the low-latitude ocean, following the incident solar flux.
The present work uses parameterizations of major production and removal
processes of organic compounds in the NEMO-PISCES (Nucleus for European
Modelling of the Ocean, Pelagic Interaction Scheme for Carbon and Ecosystem Studies) ocean general circulation
and biogeochemistry model to assess the marine source of OCS. In addition,
the OCS photo-production rates computed with the NEMO-PISCES model~were
evaluated independently using the UV absorption coefficient of chromophoric
dissolved organic matter (derived from satellite ocean color data) and apparent
quantum yields available in the literature. Our simulations show global
direct marine emissions of OCS in the range of 573–3997 GgS yr<sup>−1</sup>,
depending mostly on the quantification of the absorption rate of
chromophoric dissolved organic matter. The high estimates of that range are
unlikely, as they correspond to a formulation that most likely overestimate
photo-production process. Low and medium (813 GgS yr<sup>−1</sup>) estimates derived
from the NEMO-PISCES model are however consistent spatially
and temporally~with the suggested missing source of Berry et al. (2013),
allowing us thus to close the global budget of OCS given the recent estimates
of leaf and soil OCS uptake. |
