The Global Surface Seawater DMS Database was started with the data set described in Kettle et al., (1999).  This database represents an attempt to put most of the global set of seawater DMS measurements on one server, where data can be selected from geographical regions and/or specific time periods.  The statistics of each sub-set of DMS data can be viewed on the output page and the selected data can be downloaded as an ascii file . 

DMS data are now accessable on the NOAA ERDDAP data server at:
https://data.pmel.noaa.gov/pmel/erddap/tabledap/global_dms_database.html
Please note, to download the entire dataset, enter the date of 1972-03-11 in the "Optional Contraint #1" and select a "File Type".
