There was similar but weaker seasonal variation of DMSP. Generally, DMS concentration inside the bay was higher than that outside the bay; highest concentration often occurred nearshore.

Analysis indicated that salinity and zooplankton had significant influence on total DMS level in seawater. The estimation of sea-air flux of DMS showed significant seasonal variation, was the highest in spring [2441 μgS/(m2·d)] and lowest in winter [272 (m2 · d) ], with an annual average of 924 μgS/(m2 ·d) .展开更多
