[ACG41-02] The biogenic sulfur cycle in a coupled ocean-sea ice-atmosphere system
キーワード:硫化ジメチル(DMS)、北極、南極、海氷、エアロゾル、生物地球化学
Marine biogenic reduced sulfur compounds, such as dimethyl sulfide (DMS), are key contributors to the polar aerosol population during biologically active seasons. In polar regions, sea ice serves an important dual role in the biogenic sulfur cycle by providing a habitat for DMS-producing microorganisms and modulating sea-to-air DMS emission. This polar-specific marine biogenic sulfur cycle is poised to undergo significant changes in response to the sea ice thinning and reduction, which is already emerging in the Arctic and a part of the Antarctic coast. However, the complexity of sea ice biogeochemical DMS production, emission, and the subsequent aerosol formation processes, coupled with their fine spatial and temporal scales, presents significant challenges to incorporating these processes into Earth System Models and understanding potential climate feedback.
In the SCOR working group CIce2Clouds, we have synthesized knowns and unknowns about this polar sulfur cycle by developing a mutual understanding between atmospheric chemistry and sea-ice biogeochemistry communities. This presentation introduces an overview of the system and highlights the knowledge gaps that are shared through our discussion.
