International researches mainly include population estimation from the land cover data, DMSP-OLS night light data or spectrum information directly afforded by the Remote Sensing images.
An efficient method was developed for the determination of DMS and DMSP by gas chromatography. N-Butyl alcohol was the internal standard. Malt, wort and beer were analyzed with this method.
In the atmosphere, DMSP breaks down into sulfur compounds that form cloud particles that, in turn, reflect sunshine back into space. This is a cooling effect that can moderate global warming.
