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

Air-Sea CO 2 Exchange in Coastal Ecosystems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss fluxes in particular environmental conditions of the coastal environment, and discuss the role of coastal environments in the exchange of CO2 between surface seawater and the atmosphere.

A Greenhouse-Gas Information System: Monitoring and Validating Emissions Reporting and Mitigation

TL;DR: This study and report focuses on attributes of a greenhouse-gas information system (GHGIS) needed to support MRV the need for a system that meets specifications derived from imposed requirements; theneed for rigorous calibration, verification, and validation; the need to develop and adopt an uncertainty-quantification regimen for all measurement and modeling data.

AMS-14C ages measured in deep sea cores from the Southern Ocean: Implications for sedimentation rates during isotope stage 2

TL;DR: In this paper, the difference in 14C composition between atmosphere and sea surface was corrected by using a reconstruction of the latitudinal 14C gradient which existed in the Southern Ocean prior to 1962.

The response to phase-dependent wind stress and cloud fraction of the diurnal cycle of SST and air–sea CO2 exchange

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a 1D modeling study using a two equation k − ϵ turbulence closure model to generate realistic upper-ocean temperatures. But the model is forced hourly with a variety of idealized diurnal wind and cloud profiles to investigate the sensitivity of the diurnal response and its effect on air-sea CO 2 transfer at low to moderate wind speeds.

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.
