Sulfer, the ocean, and the sun. Sulfer in the atmosphere affects
climate by infuencing formation of cluds. The main natural source
of sulfer is dimethyl sulfide (DMS) produced by small organisms in
the upper layers of the oceans. DMS production is in turn
influenced by the amount of energy the upper ocean receives from
sunlight. Here are monthly data on solar radiation dose (SRD, in
watts per square meter) and surface DMS concentration ( in
nanomolars) for a region in the Mediterranean.
SRD 12.55 12.91
14.34 19.72 21.52
22.41 37.65 48.41
DMS 0.796 0.692
1.744 1.062 0.682
1.517 0.736 0,720
SRD 74.41 94.14
109.38 157.79 262.67
268.96 289.23
DMS 1.820 1.099
2.692 5.134 8.038
7.280 8.872
A. Make a scatter plot that shows how DMS responds to SRD
B. Describe the overall pattern of the data and find the
correlation r between DMS and SRD.
