dimethyl sulfide"Naturally occurring sulfur gas, formula CH3SCH3, emitted predominantly by phytoplankton, marine algae, seaweed, etc. Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) has the highest flux to the atmosphere of all biogenic sulfur gases.
That, in turn, changes the albedo of the ecosystem as well as the relative importance of the sensible and latent heat fluxes from the surface to the atmosphere. For an example in oceanography, consider the release of dimethyl sulfide by biological ...
