Research Abstract |
We have conducted observational studies with the main objective of clarifying air-sea fluxes of CO2, CH4, and volatile organic compounds (VOC) and factors controlling them (especially focusing on biological activity) in the Southern Ocean. A new system for measurements of oceanic CO2 and CH4 were developed in FY2011 by using a Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy analyzer. Underway measurements of partial pressure of CO2 and CH4 were made aboard the R/V Mirai in the Southern Ocean over the period from November to February in FY2012. Oceanic dimethyl sulfide and isoprene were also measured at the hydrographic stations. Observed results indicate that the Southern Ocean south of 60S exhibited both negative and positive air-sea CO2/CH4 fluxes due to effects of sea-ice melting, horizontal/vertical mixing, and biological activity, and maximum concentrations of VOC occurred in sub-surface layer due to biological activity.
