This work is part of the Biogeochemical Ocean Flux Study of the Natural Environment Research Council, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Plymouth, UK. Question (Malin et al.): What is the potential of the SeaWiFS satellite for giving insight into the global emission of volatile sulfur compounds? Answer: The pigment 19′ hexanolyoxyfucoxanthin (HEX) is a main accessory pigment in both E. huxleyi and Phaeocystis, and a linear relationship has been established between HEX and DMS in the water in several geographical locations (including Antarctica). Detection of the pigment is possible by differential absorption at 555 nm and another wavelength. Although there are several other taxa-specific pigments that absorb at the same wavelength, the observed scattering properties (e.g. for coccolithophores) and auxilliary information, on season, location etc., should allow us to be more specific. The air-sea exchange of DMS is related to the sea state (wave height and surface roughness), which will not be available from the SeaWiFS satellite but may be available from other satellite sensors, such as the scatterometer on ERS-1 operating concurrently.
