The spatial distributions of dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as well as their control factors were studied in the East China Sea during June 2012. The sea-to-air flux of DMS and its contribution to non-sea-salt sulfate (nss-SO42-) in atmospheric sulphate aerosol were also estimated. The average concentrations of DMS, dissolved DMSP (DMSPd), particulate DMSP (DMSPp), dissolved DMSO (DMSOd) and particulate DMSO (DMSOp) in the surface seawater were (5.71±5.23), (5.94±3.68), (23.84±14.15), (9.14±10.52) and (11.01±5.81) nmol/L, respectively. Concentrations of DMS, DMSP and DMSOp formed high values center in the region of 28°N~29°N and 122°E~123.5°E and declined around this region diffusively, exhibiting similar distribution patterns to chlorophyll a (Chl-a). Concentrations of DMS, DMSPd, DMSPp and DMSOp were significantly correlated with the levels of Chl-a, suggesting that phytoplankton biomass might play an important role in controlling the production and distributions of biogenic sulfur compounds in the East China Sea. The sea-to-air fluxes of DMS in the study area varied from 0.93 to 101.02 μmol/(m2·d), with an average of (18.13±21.42) μmol/(m2·d). The contribution of biogenic nss-SO42- to the total nss-SO42- in the atmospheric aerosol was only 2.2%, indicating that anthropogenic emission was the major source of atmospheric sulfur over the East China Sea in summer.
