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

Legacy Effects of Eutrophication on Modern Methane Dynamics in a Boreal Estuary

TL;DR: In this paper, seasonal and spatial variability of methane dynamics in a eutrophied boreal estuary, both in the water column and underlying sediments, were investigated, and the vast majority of the upwards diffusive flux of methane was removed before it could escape to the atmosphere.

Diffusive flux of CH4 and N2O from agricultural river networks: Regression tree and importance analysis

TL;DR: The results indicate that significant spatiotemporal variation of methane (CH4) nitrous oxide (N2O) diffusion occurs in all the four reaches of Tuojia river networks and shed light on the global campaign on refinement of national GHG inventories as well as regional nutrient management.

Technical Note: Simulation of detailed aerosol chemistry on the global scale using MECCA-AERO

TL;DR: In this article, the MESSy submodel MECCA-AERO is presented, which simulates both aerosol and gas phase chemistry with the same mechanism, including the aerosol phase into the chemistry mechanism increases the stiffness of the resulting set of differential equations.

A three-dimensional model study of methanesulphonic acid to non sea salt sulphate ratio at mid and high-southern latitudes

TL;DR: In this paper, the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic methanesulphonic acid (MSA) to non sea salt sulphate (nssSO4) ratio is simulated with the Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique Atmospheric General Circulation Model including an atmospheric sulphur chemistry module.

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.
