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

Anthropogenic and natural contributions to regional trends in aerosol optical depth, 1980–2006
David G. Streets,Fang Yan,Fang Yan,Mian Chin,Thomas Diehl,Natalie M. Mahowald,Martin G. Schultz,Martin Wild,Ye Wu,Carolyne Yu +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of human and natural sources in aerosol optical depth (AOD) changes over time and found that changes in AOD over time are caused by the changing patterns of anthropogenic emissions of aerosols and aerosol precursors.

Urea decomposition by bacteria in the southern California Bight and its implications for the mesopelagic nitrogen cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the decomposition of only the urease-sensitive fraction of the urea pool in depth profiles at stations in the Southern California Bight.

Production of chloroform and other low molecular-weight halocarbons by some species of macroalgae
TL;DR: In this paper, Dyrssen et al. investigated the production of volatile low-molecular-weight halocarbons by macroalgae at a site on the west coast of Scotland.

Gas transfer velocities of CO2 and CH4 in a tropical reservoir and its river downstream
Frédéric Guérin,Frédéric Guérin,Gwenaël Abril,Dominique Serça,Claire Delon,Sandrine Richard,Robert Delmas,Alain Tremblay,Louis Varfalvy +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured simultaneously the methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) surface concentrations and water-air fluxes by floating chambers (FC) in the Petit-Saut Reservoir (French Guiana) and its tidal river (Sinnamary River) downstream of the dam, during two field experiments in wet (May 2003) and dry season (December 2003).

Global budget of atmospheric carbonyl sulfide: Temporal and spatial variations of the dominant sources and sinks
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and temporal variability of the global fluxes of carbonyl sulfide (COS) is discussed together with possible implications for total column atmospheric COS loading.

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.
