Air-Sea Gas Exchange Rates: Introduction and Synthesis

TLDR
In this article, the basic equations governing air-sea gas exchange are given, then a review of some models proposed to describe the gas transfer process is given, and experimental approaches through both laboratory (principally using wind/water tunnels) and field measurements are summarized.
Abstract
In this chapter we attempt to present a brief introduction to the subject of air-sea gas exchange First the basic equations governing such exchange are given, then a review of some models proposed to describe the gas transfer process Following this, experimental approaches through both laboratory (principally using wind/water tunnels) and field measurements are summarised Finally, we present what seems to us to be the best current synthesis of the wind tunnel and field results for the prediction of gas exchange rates across the sea surface

Spatial and temporal variability of atmospheric sulfur‐containing gases and particles during the Albatross campaign

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the oxidation chemistry of dimethylsulfide (DMS) in the marine atmosphere, atmospheric DMS, SO2, as well as several DMS oxidation products in aerosol phase such as non-sea-salt sulfate (nss-SO4), methanesulfonate (MSA), and dimethyltromethane(DMSOp) during the Albatross campaign in the Atlantic Ocean from October 9 to November 2, 1996.

Distribution of surface fCO2 and air–sea fluxes in the Southwestern subtropical Atlantic and adjacent continental shelf

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the fugacity of CO 2, salinity, in situ temperature, nutrients and chlorophyll-a in the open ocean during the COROAS program (COROAS).

Methane emissions from the upwelling area off Mauritania

TL;DR: More than 1000 measurements of atmospheric and dissolved CH4 in the surface layer in the upwelling area off Mauritania were performed as part of the German SOPRAN (Surface Ocean Processes in the Anthropocene) study during two cruises in March/April 2005 (P320/1) and February 2007 (P348) as discussed by the authors.

Coastal zone production of IO precursors: a 2-dimensional study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the atmospheric measurements of CH2I2 made in marine air with the concentrations predicted by a 2-dimensional model incorporating horizontal and vertical dispersion of surface emissions.

Seasonal and interannual variability of phytoplankton, nutrients, TCO2, pCO2, and O2 in the eastern subarctic Pacific (ocean weather station Papa)

TL;DR: A coupled, one-dimensional ecosystem/carbon flux model is used to simulate the seasonal and interannual variability of phytoplankton, nutrients, TCO2, O2, and pCO2 at ocean weather station Papa (OWS P at 50°N, 145°W).

Gas exchange rates between air and sea

TL;DR: In this article, the average film thickness for the world ocean based on the distribution of natural radiocarbon, bomb-produced radioccarbon, and radon are in good agreement, and Radon data from the BOMEX area and from station PAPA lend support to Kanwisher's suggestion that gas exchange rates should vary in proportion to the square of the wind velocity.

Vollständige Darstellung der turbulenten Geschwindigkeitsverteilung in glatten Leitungen

TL;DR: From experimental investigations of turbulent exchange of momentum a formula is derived for the velocity of turbulent flow in tubes and pipes in this paper, which gives a complete representation of the velocity distribution, i. e. it holds good close to the wall as well as in the core of the flow.
