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

Tritium and CFC input functions for the Weddell Sea
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model that couples the tritium concentrations in the atmosphere and in the Weddell Sea's surface layer by parameterizing the relevant flux and exchange mechanisms, as well as the surface layer dynamics, has been used to calculate the time history of Tritium in near-surface waters of the Wasserstein Sea, and the model also simulates the gas transfer of the chlorofluorocarbons CFC 11 and CFC 12 and of helium across the ocean-atmosphere interface.

Modeling and analysis of aerosol processes in an interactive chemistry general circulation model
Sunita Verma,Olivier Boucher,M. S. Reddy,H. C. Upadhyaya,P. Le Van,Francis S. Binkowski,O. P. Sharma +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an online aerosol dynamics and chemistry module is included in the Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique general circulation model (LMDZ), so that the chemical species are advected at each dynamical time step and evolve through chemical and physical processes that have been parameterized consistently with the meteorology.

Distributions and fluxes of methyl chloride and methyl bromide in the East China Sea and the Southern Yellow Sea in autumn
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the distributions and fluxes of methyl chloride and methyl bromide in the East China Sea (ECS) and the Southern Yellow Sea (SYS) in November 2007.

TL;DR: In this article, the rate of gross biological dimethylsulfide (DMS) production at two coastal sites west of the Antarctic Peninsula, near Palmer Station, was estimated using a diagnostic approach that combined field measurements from 1 January 2006 through 1 March 2006 and a one-dimensional physical model of ocean mixing.

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.
