Marine microbes through the microscope: small but many

Ocean color SeaWiffs web page Many microbes Very few microbes

The many troubles of a well meaning satellite

Electronic signal in each pixel Raw Data Level 0 Each pixel with position and time Level 1 Radiance at the stellite per pixel Sensor calibration Radiance at Earth’s surface Level 2 Atmospheric correction with masks and flags Biogeophysical data Level 2 Algorithms Level 3 Data in bins From sensor to image

A ship would take 10 years of continuous sampling to get the same amount of data points Phototrophic microbes visible thanks to Chlorophyll a CZCS 27/11/81

DMSP Marine phytoplankton produce DMSP for its role in: -osmoregulation-cryoprotection-anti-oxidant -methyl donor -overflow of excess S and reducing power -chemosensory and chemotactic behaviour ubiquitous in the oceans!

DMS : dimethyl sulphide (CH 3 ) 2 S DMSP: dimethylsulphoniopropionate (CH 3 ) 2 S + -CH 2 -CH 2 -COO - (CH 3 ) 2 S + -CH 2 -CH 2 -COO - is transformed into main biological source of S to atmosphere

Microbial community (plankton) Atmosphere Ocean Particles Temperature DMS Solar Radiation Albedo Microbes contribute to climate regulation through DMS production Charlson, Lovelock, Andreae & Warren (1987) Nature 326:655

Earth without clouds

Earth with clouds: albedo is VERY important

Mixed Layer Depth (m) DMS yield (%) Simó & Pedrós-Alió, Nature 402: (1999) The % of DMSP converted to DMS depends on Mixed Layer Depth
