    The role of a changing Arctic Ocean and climate for the biogeochemical cycling of dimethyl sulphide and carbon monoxide (2021)
    Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-09-04
    Description: Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and carbon monoxide (CO) are climate-relevant trace gases that play key roles in the radiative budget of the Arctic atmosphere. Under global warming, Arctic sea ice retreats at an unprecedented rate, altering light penetration and biological communities, and potentially affect DMS and CO cycling in the Arctic Ocean. This could have socio-economic implications in and beyond the Arctic region. However, little is known about CO production pathways and emissions in this region and the future development of DMS and CO cycling. Here we summarize the current understanding and assess potential future changes of DMS and CO cycling in relation to changes in sea ice coverage, light penetration, bacterial and microalgal communities, pH and physical properties. We suggest that production of DMS and CO might increase with ice melting, increasing light availability and shifting phytoplankton community. Among others, policy measures should facilitate large-scale process studies, coordinated long term observations and modelling efforts to improve our current understanding of the cycling and emissions of DMS and CO in the Arctic Ocean and of global consequences.

    Relative sensitivity of DNA and photosystem II in Ulva intestinalis (Chlorophyta) under natural solar irradiation (2016)
    Inter-Research
    In:  Marine Ecology Progress Series, 555 . pp. 95-107.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-07-17
    Description: High intensities of sunlight can result in DNA and photosystem II (PSII) damage. However, the relative sensitivity of both these targets under natural sunlight and especially over a long period has not been studied in algae so far. Although DNA damage is highly specifically induced by ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB, 280-315 nm), PSII is inactivated by a broad spectrum. The green macroalga Ulva intestinalis is an appropriate and interesting study organism with which to investigate the relative importance of the 2 different targets of sunlight because this alga contains no UV-screening protective pigments, although it is exposed to strong solar irradiation in its natural habitat. This entails a high risk of DNA damage. Therefore, diel time courses and long-term development of DNA damage and the optimal quantum yield of PSII (F-v/F-m) were studied in situ. F-v/F-m was extremely reduced at noon, but a fast recovery was observed in the afternoon. As dark-adapted basal fluorescence (F-o) of PSII was substantially decreased during the day, non-photochemical quenching is suggested to be a key photoprotective strategy in U. intestinalis. In contrast, even in samples with strongly reduced F-v/F-m, only very low DNA damage was found, irrespective of the accumulated UVB dose. We propose that efficient photoreactivation driven by natural sunlight balances the induction of dimers. This leads to a higher UVB tolerance of DNA than that observed in algae under experimental UVB irradition. In this field study, U. intestinalis suffered more from photoinhibition than from DNA damage.

    Nitrous oxide and methane in a changing Arctic Ocean (2021)
    Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-10-10
    Description: Human activities are changing the Arctic environment at an unprecedented rate resulting in rapid warming, freshening, sea ice retreat and ocean acidification of the Arctic Ocean. Trace gases such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) play important roles in both the atmospheric reactivity and radiative budget of the Arctic and thus have a high potential to influence the region’s climate. However, little is known about how these rapid physical and chemical changes will impact the emissions of major climate-relevant trace gases from the Arctic Ocean. The combined consequences of these stressors present a complex combination of environmental changes which might impact on trace gas production and their subsequent release to the Arctic atmosphere. Here we present our current understanding of nitrous oxide and methane cycling in the Arctic Ocean and its relevance for regional and global atmosphere and climate and offer our thoughts on how this might change over coming decades.

    Tiny But Powerful: How Tiny Amounts of Certain Gases Can Make a Big Difference in the Earth’s Climate (2021)
    Frontiers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-05-05
    Description: Comparable to carbon dioxide, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), and carbon monoxide (CO) are tiny gases that have a great impact on our climate. Though occurring only in very small amounts in the atmosphere they are climate influencers, especially in the Arctic. The Arctic is a unique place on Earth where all life is adapted to the extreme cold. Therefore, global warming is a great threat to the Arctic. DMS and CO are produced in the Arctic Ocean and can go into the atmosphere. There, CO may enhance the warming of the Arctic. On the other hand, DMS possibly cools the atmosphere because it helps forming clouds. The processes CO and DMS are involved in, are complex and will probably alter under a changing climate. It is important to understand these processes to get an idea of the future Arctic Ocean and climate to find ways to save the Arctic.

    From Monodisciplinary via Multidisciplinary to an Interdisciplinary Approach Investigating Air-Sea Interactions – a SOLAS Initiative (2020)
    Taylor & Francis
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-02-08
    Description: Understanding the physical and biogeochemical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere is a vital component of environmental and Earth system research. The ability to predict and respond to future environmental change relies on a detailed understanding of these processes. The Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) is an international research platform that focuses on the study of ocean-atmosphere interactions, for which Future Earth is a sponsor. SOLAS instigated a collaborative initiative process to connect efforts in the natural and social sciences related to these processes, as a contribution to the emerging Future Earth Ocean Knowledge-Action Network (Ocean KAN). This is imperative because many of the recent changes in the Earth system are anthropogenic. An understanding of adaptation and counteracting measures requires an alliance of scientists from both domains to bridge the gap between science and policy. To this end, three SOLAS research areas were targeted for a case study to determine a more effective method of interdisciplinary research: valuing carbon and the ocean’s role; air-sea interactions, policy and stewardship; and, air-sea interactions and the shipping industry.

    South Atlantic Crossing (SACROSS), Cruise No. M133, 15.12.2016 - 13.01.2017, Cape Town (South Africa) - Stanley (Falklands) (2017)
    DFG-Senatskommission für Ozeanographie
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-09-19
    Description: The cruise M133 SACROSS (South Atlantic Crossing) was a multidisciplinary ocean survey of the South Atlantic gyre roughly along 34.5°S. This transect is covered by the international SAMOC moored array and also the path of the internationally agreed AX18 XBT line. Most of the measurements were based on using underway methods including near-surface water sampling for the determination of SST, and SSS as well as shipboard ADCP current observations. Moreover, an underway CTD allowed to sample the upper 300-400 m every hour. Chemical analysis of surface waters as well as atmospheric parameter were of scientific interest to both compare different regions with each other but also to document long term trends. At the western and eastern boundary current regime full water column water mass properties were measured. Upper ocean 10-700m plankton assemblages allow improving the calibration of sediment proxies. Water samples for later lab-based biodiversity analysis were taken. A number of smaller student projects were carried out as part of a global ocean learning and capacity building effort. Finally, continuous swath bathymetry mapping was made, and a number of floats and drifters were launched in support of the global ocean observing system arrays. The cruise was very successful, all objectives were reached, and the measurements were carried out as planned.

    Carbon monoxide (CO) cycling in the Fram Strait, Arctic Ocean (2023)
    Copernicus Publications (EGU)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: Carbon monoxide (CO) influences the radiative budget and oxidative capacity of the atmosphere over the Arctic Ocean, which is a source of atmospheric CO. Yet, oceanic CO cycling is understudied in this area, particu- larly in light of the ongoing rapid environmental changes. We present results from incubation experiments conducted in the Fram Strait in August–September 2019 under different environmental conditions: while lower pH did not affect CO production (GPCO) or consumption (kCO) rates, enhanced GPCO and kCO were positively correlated with coloured dis- solved organic matter (CDOM) and dissolved nitrate concen- trations, respectively, suggesting microbial CO uptake under oligotrophic conditions to be a driving factor for variability in CO surface concentrations. Both production and consump- tion of CO will likely increase in the future, but it is un- known which process will dominate. Our results will help to improve models predicting future CO concentrations and emissions and their effects on the radiative budget and the oxidative capacity of the Arctic atmosphere.
