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

TL;DR: The results of the first Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE 1) as mentioned in this paper show that the background MBL aerosol during ACE 1 often was composed of four distinct modes: an ultrafine (UF) mode (Dp = 5-20 nm), an Aitken mode, an accumulation mode, and a coarse mode.

Seasonal dynamics in methane emissions from the Amazon River floodplain to the troposphere
TL;DR: In this paper, emissions averaged 68 mg CH4/sq m per day and were significantly lower than similar emissions determined previously for the high-water period, 184 mg CH 4/sqm per day, which was due to significantly lower emissions from floating macrophyte environments.

TL;DR: The chemical composition of marine aerosols as a function of their size is an important parameter for the evaluation of their impact on the global climate system in this article, where fine particle organic matter emitted by sea spray processes and its influence on the aerosol chemical properties at the global scale using the off-line global ChemistryTransport Model TM5 TM5 is coupled to a micro-physical aerosol dynamics model providing size resolved information on particle masses and numbers.

Interannual variability of the oceanic sink of CO2 from 1979 through 1997
TL;DR: This article estimated the interannual variability in the oceanic sink of CO2 with a three-dimensional global-scale model which includes ocean circulation and simple biogeochemistry, which was forced from 1979 to 1997 by a combination of daily to weekly data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis as well as European Remote Sensing satellite observations.

Measurements of air-sea gas transfer during an open ocean algal bloom.
TL;DR: The first application of the dual tracer technique in the open ocean produced estimates of the gas transfer rate that were similar in magnitude to those obtained previously from measurements in shelf seas.

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.
