Popis: Concentrations of total dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSPt), Dimethylsulphide (DMS) and total dimethylsulphoxide (DMSOt) were measured at a coastal time series site, west coast of India, from September 2009 to December 2013. While, DMSPt varied between 0.35 and 252 nM (avg. 24 ± 32.3 nM), DMS varied from 0.5 to 442 nM (avg. 22.5 ± 48.3 nM). The annual phytoplankton regime and succession was observed to play a key role in DMSP and DMS production. DMSPt, DMS and DMSOt showed high temporal variability with maximum concentrations observed during the southwest monsoon (SWM; June to September). While the least DMSP and DMS (
