Please see this demo: LEFT panel shows the surface seawater concentration of an imaginary gas (in this example, constant surface seawater concentration is prescribed in the middle of Pacific). The MIDDLE panel shows the CAM-chem predicted surface atmospheric concentration, as you can see this compound is dispersed in the atmosphere. The RIGHT panel shows the ocean-to-air flux, with warmer colors indicating net emitting and colder colors indicating net uptakinguptake. In regions with high seawater concentrations, the surface seawater is supersaturated, and hence the ocean is net emitting. But in near-by regions with low surface seawater concentrations, the surface seawater is undersaturated, and the ocean is net uptaking. Note: no chemicals were actually released into the Pacific in making this video!

is presented here, and compared to the CCMI oceanic DMS emission that is used in CESM for CMIP6 (which is from Kettle and Andreae, 2000). As shown in the plot below, the OASISS + Lana et al. (2011) configuration yields an annual oceanic DMS emission of 19 Tg S a-1, which is 33% higher than the DMS emission from CCMI (14 Tg S a-1).
