The enhanced inflow of warm and nutrient-rich Pacific Water through the Bering Strait into the Arctic Ocean has significant impacts on the biogenic sulfur cycle and ecosystem in the subarctic-arctic region. This study highlights the importance of the enhanced Pacific inflow in driving variability in dimethylsulfide (DMS) concentrations. The increased Pacific inflow leads to expansion of high-DMS regions and influences seawater warming, ice edge retreat, and sea ice-free areas in the Chukchi Sea.
The inflow of warm and nutrient-rich Pacific Water (PW) through the Bering Strait into the Arctic Ocean is likely to have far-reaching consequences for the ecosystem and biogenic sulfur cycle in the Earth's sensitive subarctic-arctic region of the Pacific sector, even impacting climate change under global warming scenarios. We performed a detailed biogeochemical study of summer biogenic sulfur cycling from cold (2012) to warm (2014) years in the Bering Strait and the Chukchi Sea, so as to highlight the importance of enhanced Pacific inflow in driving dimethylsulfide (DMS) variability. In the Bering Strait, the enhanced Pacific inflow led to the vertical expansion of the eastern high-DMS regions due to the vertical extension of Alaska Coastal Water, and the horizontal expansion of the western surface high-DMS regions due to the westward intrusion of Bering Shelf Water. The enhanced extension of PW potentially stimulated seawater warming, the northward retreat of the ice edge, and the enlargement of sea ice-free areas in the Chukchi Sea. The northern ice melting zone at 71 degrees N with a bloom of phytoplankton was an area of locally high dimethylsulfoniopropionate concentrations and slow DMS consumption in 2012. A hotspot for dimethylated sulfur compound concentrations and DMS sea-air flux occurred in the convergence region near 67.7 degrees N during 2014, due to enhanced mixing caused by increased Bering Sea Water. Owing to the increased advection of PW during 2012-2014, surface DMS and its emission to the atmosphere increased sharply by threefold in the Chukchi Sea.
