Under meteorologically stable conditions, the main source of nss sulfur
to the atmosphere was the flux of dimethylsulfide (DMS) from the ocean.
Seawater DMS concentrations were highest in the subtropical waters west
of Tasmania and decreased with increasing latitude. The mean ocean to
atmosphere flux was 8.5 umoles/m2/d. The higher flux in the lower
latitudes contributed to a larger mean diameter of the Aitken and
accumulation modes.
