Methanol Concentrations and Biological Methanol Consumption in the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Abstract: Methanol is one of the most abundant oxygenated volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere and plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and ocean ecology (Heikes et al., 2002;Singh et al., 2001;Zhuang et al., 2018). Due to the variability of methanol concentrations and sea-air exchange fluxes between locations, uncertainty remains as to whether the ocean is a source or sink of atmospheric methanol. For example, Beale et al. ( 2013) observed methanol exchange in both directions in the Atlantic Ocean w… Show more

“…Although production rates can be higher in coastal waters, rapid consumption of methanol in near-shore waters would maintain methanol concentration at a low level. In the Northwest Pacific Ocean, atmospheric deposition is also a source of methanol and it accounted for 22.7% of microbial methanol consumption in the mixed layer (Zhou et al, 2023). Collectively, the in situ concentrations of trimethylamine and methanol reflected the relative importance of production and consumption processes involved in their cycling in marine environments.…”
