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 surfaceread more

Modelling of the seasonal patterns of dimethylsulphide production and fate during 1989 at a site in the North Sea
TL;DR: This modelling study aimed to extend the understanding of the biogeochemistry of the climatically active gas dimethylsulphide in marine surface waters to an annual cycle and demonstrated that complex ecosystem models, combined with a comprehensive network of processes that control the production and fate of DMSP and DMS could accurately mimic DMS.

The Role of DMSP and DMS in the Global Sulfur Cycle and Climate Regulation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the regional and global aspects of DMSP, which result from its role as the major precursor of DMS and discuss the sea-to-air exchange process.

The oceanic CO2 System and Carbon Budget in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
TL;DR: In this paper, a relative increase of CO 2 fugacity, together with a depletion in total alkalinity, was evident in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) water during winter.

Examining a coupled climate model using CFC‐11 as an ocean tracer
TL;DR: In this paper, anthropogenic CFC-11 dissolved in seawater is used to analyze ocean ventilation simulated in a global coupled air-sea model and compared to observations gathered on three Southern Hemisphere research cruises.

Estimating net air‐sea fluxes from ocean bulk data: Methodology and application to the heat cycle
TL;DR: In this article, a novel method to estimate annual mean heat, water, and gas exchange fluxes between the ocean and the atmosphere is proposed that is complementary to the traditional approach based on air-sea gradients and bulk exchange parameterization.

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.
