Abstract: The precursor of the gas dimethylsulphide (DMS) is produced by phytoplankton. Oceanic emissions of this compound put sulphur into the atmosphere, where it is thought to exert a cooling effect on climate. A new study shows that the depth of surface-layer ocean mixing, which itself depends on climatic factors such as wind and temperature, seems to be a determinant of the level of DMS production.
