Modelling the impact of simulated warming on marine microbial production of dimethylsulphide on a global scale

模拟全球范围内模拟变暖对海洋微生物产生二甲基硫的影响。地球系统科学的最终目标是充分了解地球的功能，以解释过去的变化（如冰河时代），并预测系统的未来状态（如温室效应）。这只有在气候系统能够被精确模拟的情况下才有可能。该项目旨在研究模拟气候变化对海洋微生物生态系统产生的全球二甲基硫的影响。DMS被认为是全球变暖的重要生物反馈。这项研究工作将首次提供对二甲基硫醚造成的全球辐射强迫的生态系统建模估计，从而减少目前气候预测的不确定性。

Modelling the impact of simulated warming on marine microbial production of dimethylsulphide on a global scale. The ultimate goal of Earth systems science is to understand the planet's functioning well enough to explain past changes (eg ice ages) and to predict future states of the system (eg the magnitude of greenhouse warming). This is possible only if the climate system can be accurately modelled. This project aims to examine the effect of simulated climate change on the global production of dimethylsulphide (DMS) by marine microbial ecosystems. DMS has been hypothesised as an important biogenic feedback on global warming.\r\nThis work will provide the first ecosystem modelling estimates of the \r\nglobal radiative forcing due to DMS and thus decrease the uncertainty in current climate projections.
