Atmospheric and oceanic Methane: The Southern Ocean in summer 2009/2010
Atmospheric and oceanic methane in the marine boundary layer was monitored from November 26, 2010, to January 22, 2011 by the GC 7890A along the cruise track of R/V Polarstern from Punta Arenas, Chile, to Wellington, New Zealand, carrying out the expedition, ANTXXVI/2, in the Southern Ocean. CH4 was measured every 40 minutes. As atmospheric methane is one of the major green house gases, it is important to understand the degree of influence of it. Although oceanic source doesn't contribute highly, it is required to monitor air-sea flux continuously because the area of the Ocean is large and the flux changes easily according to the chemical and biological conditions.
