One of the the most comprehensive data sets for maritime SO2 is that of Nguyen et al (1983) who took shipboard measurements in the Indian, Atlantic and sub-Antarctic oceans and observed an average value of 50 ng(S)m ". Areas of greater productivity, eg, continental shelf areas and the Peruvian upwelling,gave higher values around 100-150 ng(S)m while lower values around 15 ng(S)m were observed in less productive seas such as the tropical Indian Ocean. Values at Dome C on the Antarctic continent were below the detection limit of 10 ng(S)m". ...
