DMS oxidation and sulfur aerosol formation in the marine troposphere: a focus on reactive halogen and multiphase chemistry by Q. Chen, Q. Chen, T. Sherwen, T. Sherwen, M. Evans, M. Evans, B. Alexander

“…In this study, we implement a series of gas-phase and multiphase sulfur oxidation mechanisms into the Goddard Earth Observing System-Chemistry (GEOS-Chem) global chemical transport model – including two important intermediates, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methane sulphinic acid (MSIA) – to investigate the sulfur cycle in the global marine troposphere. We found that DMS is mainly oxidized in the gas phase by OH (66&thinsp;%), NO₃ (16&thinsp;%) and BrO (12&thinsp;%) globally. …”

Highly active bacterial DMSP metabolism in the surface microlayer of the eastern China marginal seas by Xiujie Liu, Yunhui Zhang, Yunhui Zhang, Yunhui Zhang, Hao Sun, Siyin Tan, Xiao-Hua Zhang, Xiao-Hua Zhang, Xiao-Hua Zhang

“…The microbial cycling of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and the resulting gaseous catabolites dimethylsulfide (DMS) or methylmercaptan (MeSH) play key roles in the global sulfur cycle and potentially climate regulation. As the ocean–atmosphere boundary, the sea surface microlayer (SML) is important for the generation and emission of DMS and MeSH. …”
