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

Dimethyl sulfide in the Baltic Sea: Annual variability in relation to biological activity

TL;DR: In this paper, the in situ variation of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3, DMS) at a fixed station in a coastal area of the Baltic Sea has been studied for a period of time (January 1987 to June 1988) covering the annual biological cycle.

The cycling of sulfur in surface seawater of the northeast Pacific

TL;DR: In the Pacific Sulfur/Stratus Investigation (PSI-3, April 1991) as mentioned in this paper, the authors measured the major sulfur reservoirs and quantified many of the processes that cycle sulfur through the upper water column (sulfate assimilation, DMSP consumption, DMS production and consumption, air-sea exchange, loss of organic sulfur by particulate sinking).

Air-Sea Exchange in the Global Mercury Cycle

TL;DR: In this paper, a new global atmospheric mercury model coupled with a mixed layer slab ocean model is presented, which describes the interactions of the mixed layer with the atmosphere and deep ocean, as well as conversion between elemental, divalent, and nonreactive mercury species.

Seasonal emissions of isoprene and other reactive hydrocarbon gases from the ocean

TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonally averaged flux of isoprene to the atmosphere was estimated to be 1.7 × 107 molecules cm−2 s−1, which may be significant for atmospheric chemistry in locations remote from land as it is the only known source of atmospheric isoperesidual in these regions.

Natural emissions of chlorine‐containing gases: Reactive Chlorine Emissions Inventory

TL;DR: For methyl chloride and chloroform, both oceanic and land-based natural emissions have been identified as mentioned in this paper, but the roles of the soils and land are not known and have not been studied.

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.
