Measurements of oceanic dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) were collected during the WOCE SR03 research cruise from January 1 to March 1, 1994. The dataset was created by the organization SCIOPS as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment. It covers a spatial range from -45S to -66S latitude and -140E to -147E longitude in the Southern Ocean.
Use Cases
- Analyze DMS concentration variations across the -45S to -66S latitude range.
- Correlate DMSP measurements with specific cruise locations defined by -140E to -147E longitude.
- Model oceanic sulfur compound distributions during the austral summer of 1994.
- Validate biogeochemical models using in-situ DMS and DMSP data from the Southern Ocean.
Strengths
- Data collected during a dedicated 2-month research cruise (Jan-Mar 1994).
- Spatial coverage is precisely defined from -45S to -66S and -140E to -147E.
Limitations
- Sample size and row count are unknown.
- Data is over 30 years old, limiting analysis of contemporary conditions.
- Specific measurement methods, precision, and column details are unavailable.
